Property & Casualty Claims
A pipe bursts in your home and causes severe water damage. A tree is struck by lightning and crashes into your home. Someone walking past your home falls on a broken sidewalk and is hurt. Your car is broken into and all of the possessions that were inside the car are stolen. The sewer backs up into your den, ruining your new carpet.
These are just a few examples of the types of property and casualty insurance claims people present to their insurance companies. Unfortunately, although insurance companies have a duty to act in good faith toward their insureds and to act reasonably to investigate and pay valid claims, they do not always do so. Instead, insurance companies may deny the claim entirely, try to reduce the amount they will pay in order to save money, or try to steer you to one of their "preferred" contractors for repairs, which will cost the insurance companies less money.
In each of these cases, and numerous other circumstances, insurance companies are failing to act properly in the handling of the claim. Of course, when the insured or the claimant argues with the insurance adjuster, he or she will often refuse to resolve the claim. After all, the insurance companies have lots and lots of lawyers to defend them if the insured or the claimant files a lawsuit.
At Pogust Braslow & Millrood, we fight insurance companies every day, and accept cases from individuals and businesses whose claims were either improperly denied insurance or unfairly reduced. We know that these cases often involve "bad faith," which is an additional claim that arises as the result of an insurance company's failure to act responsibly. These cases often require special skill and expertise in order to obtain the best results possible - because insurance companies fight these cases very hard. At Pogust Braslow & Millrood, we fight harder than the insurance companies to assure that our clients are treated fairly and are compensated for whatever damages they are entitled to.
We investigate every case thoroughly so our clients are assured that we will not back down and that we will make the insurance company pay for its actions.
