Breach of Insurance Contracts

Kansas City Bad Faith Insurance Lawyer

Insurance companies have a contractual obligation to cover their insureds within the purchased policy limits. When an insurance company denies payment, delays payment, or unreasonably fails to settle claims within the policy limits, the insurance company is acting in bad faith. These insurance policy coverage disputes place unnecessary financial and emotional burdens on policy holders. Insurance companies profit by gambling with their insureds' money. At Dollar, Burns & Becker, L.C. our experienced trial attorneys represent insureds whose insurance companies act in bad faith.

If your insurance company has broken its contract with you by denying a claim or cancelling your policy, contact a Kansas City, Missouri-based, coverage dispute attorney from our firm.

Bad Faith Insurance

You pay your insurance company a premium, in exchange for the promise that your insurance company will cover you (within the limits of the policy you purchased). However, insurance companies often act in bad faith, looking out for their bottom line—not their policy holders. Insureds suffer financially when they face a lawsuit without the protection promised by the insurance policy, and must pay expensive bills out of pocket as a result. Most people cannot afford the payments—the exact reason they purchased insurance. People face debt, bill collectors, bankruptcy, and emotional distress. We provide effective representation to insureds' whose insurance companies act in bad faith.
