Charleston Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer

Dedicated Lawyers Experienced in Insurance Litigation

At Berthold Law Firm, PLLC we represent clients throughout West Virginia and the surrounding areas in Charleston who have had claims denied or illegally delayed by their insurance companies or have had difficulty getting their insurance carriers to follow through on their policy.

We realize that as a policyholder, you likely pay your monthly insurance premiums and therefore are under the impression that the insurance company will cover you fully when you are injured in an accident or if disaster strikes. When your insurance company fails to provide you with coverage at all, or the coverage that you feel is appropriate, you will need to hire an experienced Charleston bad faith insurance attorney who can help you to file a claim.

What Does Bad Faith Insurance Mean?

An insurance company is considered to be operating in bad faith if they:

• Do not investigate the claim appropriately
• Do not perform an investigation in an expedient manner
• If they offer you an inadequate settlement amount
• If they deliberately deny you compensation for your losses
• If they delay the settlement unreasonably

Don't Accept a Bad Settlement

Our attorneys are here to help you get a fair amount of compensation. It is very easy for large insurance companies to deceive their clients and offer a meager settlement because the client is unaware of what is the normal amount of compensation. We handle bad faith insurance claims, which may involve the following insurance policies:

• Car or truck insurance
• Homeowners insurance
• Rental Insurance
• Short-term disability insurance
• Long-term disability insurance
• Property and casualty insurance
• Life insurance
