Denver Insurance Bad Faith Lawyers
When it comes to legal challenges, few are as intricate and unsettling as bad faith cases. At Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin, P.C., our legal team is firmly committed to advocating for individuals who have encountered unjust treatment from insurance companies acting in bad faith.For instance, consider the scenario where an individual sustains injuries in a car accident, only to face unreasonable delays or denials of their claim by the at-fault party's insurance company. In such cases, the injured party may seek rightful compensation from the insurer.
Similarly, if an insured person's insurance provider unreasonably withholds payment for a claim, knowing their actions are unjust, the policyholder has the right to pursue damages.
In Denver, protective statutes are in place to shield insured individuals from undue delays or wrongful denials of claims by their own insurance companies. These statutes even prescribe specific penalties for unwarranted delays or denials.
At Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin, P.C., our team of Denver insurance bad faith attorneys specialize in handling such matters. We're committed to facilitating efficient resolutions while upholding your rights.
