Just like other industries, there are insurance companies that operate for the right reasons and there are insurance companies that will put profits over people in every possible way. When dealing with the latter, homeowners can often find themselves searching through their insurance policies to find a reason for why they have had their claim denied.
Sometimes, there is no reason and the insurance companies will use specific tactics to avoid their obligations to their policyholders. In these instances, a bad faith demand letter to the insurer may be required to get the claim payout you, as a homeowner, deserve.
If you intend to make demands of your insurance company for obstructing your valid homeowners insurance claim, consider sending a bad faith demand letter with the help of Insurance Claim HQ’s bad faith lawyers.
