Florida Insurance Bad Faith Attorneys
If you've been involved in an auto accident in Florida, you've already got your share of troubles -- injuries, missed work, steep medical and repair bills. The last thing you need is an insurance company that refuses to cover your bills, hikes your premium or delays your settlement for months while your bills add up. Unfortunately, many Florida drivers discover too late that their insurance companies are more interested in saving money than in providing the coverage they're legally required to provide. This is called insurance bad faith, and it is illegal. If you find yourself battling an insurance company for the coverage you trusted them to provide, the experienced auto insurance bad faith attorneys at Farah and Farah can step in and fight for your rights.
Florida auto insurance law requires that drivers carry a minimum of insurance that covers $10,000 worth of bills for their own bodily injuries and $10,000 worth of property damage they cause to another person's vehicle. Many savvy drivers choose to carry more. But insurance is a business, and some unscrupulous insurers actively seek loopholes or circumstances they can use as justification for reducing your compensation or denying it altogether. They might tell you that you're not entitled to put in a claim because you're at fault or because of other circumstances; that you're not covered by certain policies at all; or that your injuries and property damage are substantially less than they really are. Some insurers also incorrectly assign you the fault for the accident in order to illegally raise your premiums. Faced with endless negotiations or insurance red tape, many drivers give up and accept a payment much lower than what they are entitled to.
Research and thousands of real-life cases show that hiring an auto accident attorney substantially increases the amount of money you can recover from an auto insurer.
