Your Rights as a
Policyholder
Every insurance company provides a Bill of Rights outlining your rights as a policyholder. Key provisions include protection from discrimination, the right to sue, the right to fair and honest treatment, and the right to reject any settlement amount. While the Bill of Rights is there to protect you, it only does so if you’ve upheld your responsibilities as a policyholder. It’s essential to review your insurance policy to understand these responsibilities fully.
Bad Faith Insurance
Practices in Texas
Texas law requires insurance companies to act in good faith and deal fairly with policyholders. If your claim is denied or underpaid in bad faith, you can sue the insurance company in civil court. Bad faith can be established by misrepresentation, failure to conduct a thorough investigation, or unreasonable delays, among other factors. The Law Offices of Colby Lewis specialize in bad faith insurance claims and can help you recover the compensation you’re owed.
Recoverable Damages in
Bad Faith Claims
If an insurance company acts in bad faith and cannot disprove the allegations, you may be awarded significant damages. These can include three times the original claim amount, attorney fees, court costs, and additional damages. The exact amount depends on your case’s unique circumstances. To maximize your compensation, work with the experienced insurance litigation lawyers at the Law Offices of Colby Lewis.
Understanding Homeowners Insurance Claims
Homeowners insurance claims can be complex and vary widely, but some common claims include wind and hail, fire and lightning, water damage, non-theft property damage, liability, and theft. When your home suffers damage or loss, your insurance policy is triggered. As long as your policy is valid and payments are up to date, you should receive fair compensation. Claims are typically paid out based on the property’s actual cash value, with a second payment made after proving the replacement cost.
