At Collins & Collins, P.C., we believe that insurance companies should be held accountable when they act in bad faith—that is, when they wrongfully deny or delay legitimate claims, leaving policyholders without the coverage they are entitled to. Unfortunately, bad faith practices are all too common in the insurance industry, with massive corporations often prioritizing their profits over the well-being of their policyholders. When these companies exploit individuals during their most vulnerable moments, our firm steps in to fight for justice.
Insurance bad faith occurs when an insurance company fails to fulfill its contractual obligation to act fairly and in good faith
toward its policyholders. This can take many forms, including:
When insurers engage in these practices, they violate the trust of their policyholders, who have faithfully paid premiums with the expectation that they will be protected in times of need. At Collins & Collins, P.C., we know how to hold insurance companies accountable for these abuses, ensuring that our clients receive the compensation they are rightfully owed.
Medical Insurance Bad Faith: Particularly Egregious and a Litigation Focus for Collins & Collins
Of all the types of insurance bad faith practices, medical insurance bad faith is among the most egregious. These practices often lead to devastating consequences for individuals and families because the denial of critical medical care can have life-threatening outcomes.
Collins & Collins, P.C. has made the fight against medical insurance bad faith a key focus of our litigation efforts. We take these cases seriously because medical insurers, some of the largest and wealthiest corporations in the world, are exploiting individuals when they are at their most vulnerable—sick, injured, or facing a serious health crisis. In many cases, these companies deny necessary treatments, delay approvals, or underpay for care, all to protect their bottom line.
Wrongful denials of coverage for surgeries, treatments, or medications can lead to severe health complications, permanent injury, or even death.
Insurers often delay approvals for essential medical procedures, forcing patients to wait while their conditions worsen.
Medical insurers may require unnecessary prior authorizations or claim that treatment are “experimental” or “not medically necessary” when, in fact, they are essential to the patient’s survival.
Our firm is especially motivated when medical insurers deny coverage for children. When these powerful companies put a person’s health at risk to avoid paying for necessary care, we take immediate and aggressive action. No family should be forced to endure financial ruin or the loss of a loved one because an insurance company refuses to live up to its promises.
While medical insurance bad faith is a particular focus for our firm, we also represent policyholders in a wide range of bad faith cases, including:
Disability Insurance: Wrongful denials of long-term or short-term disability claims can leave individuals without income
when they are unable to work due to illness or injury.
Life Insurance: Insurance companies may refuse to pay out life insurance benefits after the death of a loved one, leaving grieving families to fight for what they are owed.
Auto Insurance: Insurers may underpay or deny valid claims for vehicle damage or injury following an accident, forcing
policyholders to cover the costs themselves.
