Insurance Claim Denials (Bad Faith)

When life throws you a curve, you expect your insurance company to be there for you. But too often, insurance companies try to find ways to deny legitimate claims, and that can constitute insurance “bad faith.”

The law requires insurance companies to act in good faith, meaning they must fulfill the duties and obligations set forth in your insurance policy. It requires them to pay claims properly and promptly. If they act in bad faith by willfully denying, delaying or discounting a claim, they can be held responsible not only for paying the claim, but can face substantial punitive damages. At HKQ, our bad faith Pennsylvania Personal Injury attorneys have the experience and resources to take on big insurance companies and get you the justice you deserve. Our reputation for exceptional results both in and out of the courtroom is unparalleled in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Sample PA Insurance Dispute Jury Verdicts & Settlements

• “Insurer must pay $13.6M after Moses Taylor death” - The Times-Tribune, Scranton, Pa.

PLEASE NOTE: The above is only a partial list of our verdicts and settlements. Many of our settlements are subject to confidentiality provisions which prevent us from disclosing their existence and/or the amount of settlement. While we believe that such provisions unfairly protect wrongdoers and severely impair public awareness of important safety issues, many insurance companies absolutely refuse to enter into a settlement agreement that does not provide for confidentiality. Needless to say, the best interests of our clients must prevail and it is the client who ultimately decides whether to accept an offer of settlement. Therefore, we are unable to list many settlements subject to such confidentiality provisions.
