Defendant's Attorney: John Mark Kressenberg and Lauren Elizabeth Figaro

Description: Houston, Texas insurance law lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendant on a bad faith breach of insurance contract theory.

"Texas law defines bad faith insurance practices as any act or omission of an insurer in connection with an insurance contract that is intended to evade payment of a claim or that is so grossly negligent in character as to show reckless disregard for the insured’s rights or interests.

Here are some examples of bad faith insurance practices:

Unreasonably denying a claim
Delaying payment on a claim
Failing to investigate a claim properly
Offering a settlement that is far below the value of the claim
Requiring unnecessary documentation from the insured
Using misleading language in the insurance policy
Canceling the policy without justification

If you believe that your insurance company has acted in bad faith, you may be able to sue them for damages. These damages can include the amount of the claim that you were denied, plus interest, attorneys' fees, and other costs.

Here are some steps you can take if you believe your insurance company has acted in bad faith:

Contact your insurance company and try to resolve the dispute amicably.
If you are unable to resolve the dispute with your insurance company, you may want to file a complaint with the Texas Department of Insurance.
If you are still not satisfied with the outcome, you may want to consult with an attorney to discuss your legal options.

It is important to note that bad faith insurance claims can be complex and difficult to win. However, if you have evidence that your insurance company has acted in bad faith, you may be able to recover the full amount of your claim plus additional damages.

Here are some additional tips for dealing with a bad faith insurance claim:

Keep detailed records of all communications with your insurance company.
Be prepared to provide your insurance company with all of the documentation they request.
If you are unable to reach an agreement with your insurance company, consider filing a complaint with the state insurance commissioner.
Consult with an attorney to discuss your legal options.

If you believe that your insurance company has acted in bad faith, it is important to take action to protect your rights. By following the tips above, you can increase your chances of recovering the full amount of your claim."
