Castle Rock Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer

Castle Rock Car Accident Lawyer
Turn Pain into Power, Injury into Justice

We fight to make sure you’re heard. We win because your recovery depends on it. You deserve results, not excuses—let’s get to work.

 

When disaster strikes, we count on our insurance companies to honor their promises and help us rebuild. We faithfully pay our premiums, trusting they’ll be there when we need them most.

But all too often, insurers prioritize profits over people. They delay, deny, and defend against valid claims, leaving policyholders high and dry when they’re most vulnerable.

If you’ve been wronged by an insurance company acting in bad faith, the dedicated legal team at Kennedy Injury Law in Castle Rock is here to hold them accountable. We’ll fight for the full benefits you deserve under your policy and Colorado law.

Understanding Insurance Bad Faith

Insurance companies owe a duty of good faith and fair dealing to their policyholders. This means they must:

  • Promptly and thoroughly investigate claims
  • Fairly evaluate and pay valid claims
  • Communicate honestly and transparently
  • Put policyholders’ interests on equal footing with their own
  • Refrain from deceptive or unfair practices

When insurers fail to live up to these obligations, they’re acting in bad faith. Common examples of bad faith practices include:

  • Unreasonably denying valid claims
  • Delaying investigation or payment without justification
  • Offering lowball settlements that don’t cover losses
  • Failing to promptly communicate decisions
  • Misrepresenting policy terms or coverage
  • Refusing to defend policyholders against third-party claims
  • Threatening or intimidating claimants
  • Requiring excessive or irrelevant information
  • Canceling policies after claims are filed

These tactics can leave policyholders facing mounting expenses, crippling uncertainty, and the feeling that they’ve been betrayed by the very company they trusted to protect them.

Holding Insurers Accountable for Misconduct

Colorado law provides powerful remedies for insurance bad faith. Under the state’s Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act, policyholders can seek damages for an insurer’s unreasonable conduct, including:

  • The full value of benefits owed under the policy
  • Consequential economic losses, like additional living expenses
  • Non-economic damages for emotional distress
  • Attorney fees and court costs
  • Punitive damages for willful and wanton misconduct

In extreme cases, insurers may also face fines and regulatory penalties from the Colorado Division of Insurance.

However, proving bad faith can be an uphill battle. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters, investigators, and defense lawyers working to protect their bottom line. They’ll cite obscure policy exclusions, shift blame to the policyholder, and exploit every loophole to avoid payment.

That’s where Kennedy Injury Law comes in. Our seasoned attorneys know the insurance industry inside and out. We’ve taken on some of the largest carriers in Colorado and won. We’ll level the playing field and fight fiercely for the justice you deserve.

Maximizing Your Insurance Recovery

Bad faith can arise under any type of insurance policy, from auto and homeowners to health and disability. No matter what kind of coverage you have, you’re entitled to the full benefits you bargained for.

Our skilled legal team will work tirelessly to maximize your recovery, including:

  • Conducting a thorough review of your policy
  • Investigating the insurer’s claims handling practices
  • Gathering evidence to support your claim
  • Consulting with valuation experts and adjusters
  • Negotiating aggressively with the insurance company
  • Filing a lawsuit and taking your case to trial if needed
  • Pursuing all available remedies under Colorado law

We’ll also help you understand your rights and obligations under the policy, communicate with the insurer on your behalf, and provide guidance at every step of the process. Our goal is to take the burden off your shoulders, so you can focus on rebuilding and moving forward.

What are some signs of insurance bad faith?

Common red flags include unreasonable claim denials, excessive delays in processing or payment, lowball settlement offers, failure to communicate, misrepresenting policy terms, refusing to defend a claim, or requiring burdensome amounts of paperwork. If your insurer’s actions feel unfair or make little sense, it’s worth speaking with an attorney.

How long do I have to file an insurance bad faith lawsuit?

In Colorado, the statute of limitations for first-party insurance bad faith claims is two years from the date the cause of action accrues (usually the date the insurer denies or unreasonably delays your claim). However, determining this date can be tricky. Always seek legal advice as soon as you suspect bad faith to protect your rights.

Can I sue my insurance company for denying my claim?

If the denial was improper or made in bad faith, you may be able to sue the insurer for breach of contract, bad faith, or violations of Colorado’s insurance statutes. An experienced attorney can review your policy and the facts of your case to determine if you have a viable claim.

What damages can I recover in an insurance bad faith lawsuit?

You may be entitled to the full value of benefits owed under the policy, economic losses caused by the insurer’s conduct, emotional distress damages, attorney fees and costs, and in some cases, punitive damages. The specific remedies will depend on the facts of your case and the type of policy involved.

How much does it cost to hire an insurance bad faith attorney?

Most bad faith attorneys, including Kennedy Injury Law, work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront, and the lawyer only gets paid if they recover money for you. You have nothing to lose by scheduling a free consultation to learn about your rights and options.

What should I do if I think my insurance company is acting in bad faith?

First and foremost, document everything. Keep copies of all correspondence with the insurer, take detailed notes of phone conversations, and maintain records of your losses and expenses. Then, contact an experienced insurance bad faith lawyer right away. They can help you assess your claim, communicate with the insurer, and take legal action if needed to protect your rights.
