Here’s an example: A person is hit and injured by an uninsured driver. When they file an uninsured motorist claim with their own insurance company, they get runarounds, delays and a tiny little settlement offer – or a flat-out denial of their claim. The injustice of this is that the injured person is dealing with their own insurance company. If it was the at-fault party’s insurer, you might understand – but their own insurer?
We call this “bad faith.” If it has happened to you, don’t give up – there’s something you can do. Colorado law says that your insurance company is legally required to treat you fairly. If they unreasonably delay or deny your claim, you can sue them to recover your attorney fees, court costs and two times the covered benefit.
This is a complicated area of the law, though. It’s best to work with a Denver accident attorney from our office. If you’re getting the runaround from your own insurance company, give me a call at (303) 758-4777 or email me. Let’s talk about your situation and your options – there’s no cost or obligation for our first meeting. For more information, see our website at www.dlslawfirm.com.
