Insurance Litigation Attorneys Serving Bala Cynwyd, PA

No. We start by obtaining the insurer's specific written basis for denial, then compare that basis against your policy language and the facts of your loss to determine whether the denial can be challenged.

Unreasonable delay in processing a valid claim, denial without a proper investigation, misrepresenting policy terms, or a lowball offer far below the claim's documented value can all support a bad-faith claim.

Yes, we handle commercial insurance disputes, business interruption claims, and contractor insurance claims alongside our individual policyholder work.

Timelines vary based on the size of the loss, the insurer's willingness to negotiate, and whether litigation becomes necessary, some claims resolve in a matter of months while others require formal litigation.

A denial simply means the insurer refused to pay. A bad faith claim goes further, arguing the insurer's conduct in reaching that denial, or in delaying or underpaying, was itself unreasonable. The two often go hand in hand, but they're legally distinct claims.

Not necessarily. A public adjuster documents and values your loss, while an attorney steps in when the carrier still won't pay that documented value. Many clients bring us in as soon as a claim starts stalling, before a public adjuster is even involved.

We handle disputes over homeowners claims, storm and flood damage, commercial property losses, and health and life insurance denials, in addition to auto and general liability disputes. If your carrier isn't paying what your policy promises, it's worth a free case review.

Getting the insurer's specific written basis for the denial. We then compare that basis against your policy language and the facts of your loss to determine whether the denial can be challenged.

Yes. A claim that is delayed or undervalued deserves the same review as one denied outright, and a lowball offer far below the claim's documented value can support a bad-faith claim.
