Insurance Fraud and Failure to Pay
Insurance policies are contracts between the insured and the insurance company to protect the insured against all kinds of harm. There are life insurance policies, disability policies, homeowner’s policies, car insurance policies, dental insurance policies, long term health care policies, fire policies, travel policies, commercial general liability policies, error and omission policies, professional malpractice coverage and annuities. Today, if you can think of a risk, an insurance carrier can be found to insure against it.
Implicit within each of these agreements is the understanding that should the risk occur, the insurance company will act in the utmost good faith to perform pursuant to the contract. The company is understood to pay claims and provide fair insurance settlements. Unfortunately, insurance carriers are for-profit corporations and all too often, their interest in maximizing profits will conflict with honoring their obligation to pay in good faith upon a legitimate claim. Additionally, a lot of insurance plans are misrepresented to consumers and businesses as investments.

We have successfully recovered millions of dollars in punitive and compensatory damages for ordinary people victimized by an insurance company’s bad faith failure to pay legitimate claims. Fischer, Goldasich & Aughtman has handled and successfully prosecuted cases against insurance and annuity companies for misrepresenting insurance products as investment products.
