WHAT: When your insurance company fails to pay a claim, it can be grounds for a case against the insurance company to obtain the coverage you are entitled to, and, in appropriate cases, sue for bad faith, sanctions, attorney fees, and statutory damages under Florida law. If the insurance company denies valid claims or unreasonably delays payment, we may sue them for bad faith and obtain punitive damages in addition to the coverage you were originally owed.

WHEN: While you may have fulfilled your responsibilities by paying your premiums, your insurance company may fail to live up to its responsibilities by denying or delaying payment on your claim. Corless Barfield attorneys understand the many techniques that insurance companies use to minimize compensation and how to overcome their opposition.
WHERE: Corless Barfield carefully investigates all aspects of your case, documenting the full extent of your losses and demonstrating that your claim is valid under the terms of the policy. Our goal is to maximize the insurance compensation you are entitled to receive for your case.
Often homeowners find that their insurance company is unwilling to pay valid claims or that the insurance company undervalues your loss, or will not agree to pay to have the problem fixed correctly. The duty of an insurance company is to provide fair and prompt reimbursement in the event of an accident, injury, or property damage yet some of these companies fail to do their job and pay legitimate claims.
WHY: Corless Barfield attorneys are particularly experienced in evaluating whether an insured’s, or another party’s, contractual promises to provide insurance or indemnity are covered by insurance provisions or by additional insured endorsements.
