Home Owner Insurance Attorneys
Fire / Flood / Casualty / Earthquake / Water Damage / Mudslides / Theft / Personal Injury – Wrongful Death / Boundary Disputes / Property Damage / Construction Defects
The Law Offices of Marc Grossman’s experienced homeowner’s insurance bad faith lawyers assist clients in Southern California in the negotiating and litigating of lawsuits pertaining to insurance bad faith when a proper homeowner’s claim is denied or delayed.
To Put It Simply…
A California homeowner’s insurance policy is a legal binding contract that holds you and the insurance company to the terms of the policy. When an insurance company fails to honor the terms, purposely or not, they have breached the contract, you have the legal rights to pursue the original claim as well as attorney’s cost and any other contractual damages.
But Also…
Even if an insurance company denies a claim based on the terms in the policy, they may still be in violation of the contract due to:
• Stalling tactics and delays – carried out to persuade you to accept a smaller settlement or no settlement at all
• Underpayment Impossible Conditions – requiring verification of a claim or unreasonable amounts of documentation
• Setting Unreasonable Expectations /Time Wasting – insist you resubmit information / gather new information that has already been obtained
• Acting Unreasonably – requiring multiple quotes / changing adjusters or assigning several adjusters
• Failure to Indemnify or Defend – failure to payout a legit claim or defend you in court when an outside claim is made against your homeowner’s insurance policy
• Deceptive Practices – making promises and then denying them in later negotiations / promising payment with no action
• Misrepresentation / Fraud – of the original terms of the insurance policy, including appraisals, evaluations and adjustments
