Sacramento insurance bad faith attorneys https://cutterlaw.com/insurance-bad-faith/ Brooks Cutter and JR Parker won an important victory on behalf of State Farm policyholders, with the court ruling that State Farm must change how it depreciates personal property after a fire or theft. The fire insurance claims process often provides the option for the insured to receive cash value, instead of replacement, for items lost in the fire. In this case, State Farms depreciated the insured’s personal property items by 80% of their original value, resulting in a lower settlement than the client deserved. State Farm’s policies were found to be unclear about how much the insured can expect for non-replaced personal property due to fire loss. After nearly ten years in court, the case was settled. This is a victory for all State Farm policyholders and other California fire insurance policyholders by setting a precedence for other insurance companies.
All insurance companies have a legal obligation to uphold their terms of a contract, pay valid claims in a timely manner, and provide coverage to their policyholders. Unfortunately, customers often face disputes and denials of their claims, or are compensated for less than what is fair. When that happens, our insurance bad faith attorneys will fight for your right to force an insurance company to either pay the appropriate amount due or face a bad faith claim, which could cost the insurance company more — much more — than the original claim filed.
