Texas Bad Faith Insurance Attorney

How Can Your Texas Bad Faith Insurance Attorney Prove Bad Faith Insurance?

To prove bad faith in the state of Texas, you must show that an insurer breached its duty of good faith by refusing to compensate you for a covered loss. There must have been a reasonable basis on the part of the insurance company to deny, delay, or undervalue your claim; you will need to show there was a reckless disregard by the insurance company to carefully evaluate your claim. If your claim states that there is complex or vague wording in your insurance policy and your insurer used that to its advantage, a jury will ask whether a “reasonable” person, given the same circumstances, could have understood the wording in your policy.

If you are successful in your bad faith insurance lawsuit, your insurance company may be required to pay the full cost of the damages to your home and more.

Other costs the insurance company may have to pay you include:

• Statutory penalties with interest
• Liability for judgments in excess of policy limits
• Attorney fees
• Punitive damages
• Economic losses and emotional distress

Overall, the more egregious your insurance company has behaved, the greater your damages are likely to be.
