Bad Faith Insurance Claims - Disability

California Disability Insurance Dispute Attorneys

At Law Offices of Mickey Fine in Manhattan Beach, California, we fight hard on behalf of our clients seeking the benefits they deserve under their disability insurance policies. If your short-term disability benefits or long-term disability benefits have been denied by your insurance company, without a reasonable basis for the denial, the company may be guilty of bad faith. The law provides insurance policyholders with a remedy to recover the benefits due under their policy, as well as additional damages and attorneys' fees.

Inappropriate Profits from Bad Faith

As some disability insurance policyholders get older, professionals may become disabled and claims begin to mount. Some insurance companies may deal with that increase in claims by denying legitimate claims. They may be increasing their profits by engaging in bad faith claims practices.

Process Involved in a Disability Insurance Dispute

At Law Offices of Mickey Fine, we will work diligently to obtain the disability insurance benefits you are entitled to. Each disability policy has different definitions of disability, and the definition may vary depending on the length of the disability. Disability may be defined as being unable to work in your own occupation, or it may mean being unable to work in any occupation. We can clearly explain the complexities of disability insurance and help you file your claim. If the insurance company denies your claim or refuses to timely pay benefits, we will seek to recover all damages available under bad faith insurance laws.

Knowledgeable, Experienced, and Innovative Lawyers

Fighting with an insurance company engaging in bad faith requires an attorney with the experience and knowledge to help. We take on that burden for our clients who may have become physically disabled. We will review the policy and determine if the company is acting in bad faith. Our lawyers will also review your medical records to help determine the extent of your disability. The insurance company has lawyers and doctors on their side—you need experienced and effective representation on your side as well.
