Understanding Your Rights Under the UCSPA

The Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act (UCSPA) protects consumers from certain types of actions by insurance companies, which are known as bad faith practices. When you pursue a bad faith lawsuit, this is the primary law that our Beaumont, Houston and Lake Charles bad faith insurance lawyers will use against your provider to hold them accountable for their deceptive or negligent actions.

According to the UCSPA, the following actions are some examples of bad faith:

  • Misrepresentation: Providing false information regarding coverage.
  • Underpayment: Trying to settle a claim at a lower amount than is advertised and expected.
  • Delay of payment: Using various tactics to pressure claimant to accept less money.
  • Lack of explanation: Failing to give a consumer complete or valid justification when denying a claim.
  • Failure to disclose: Not telling an insured person what coverage applies to a specific payment.
  • Failure to investigate: Refusing to pay a claim without a reasonable investigation into the damage.

What Actions Can You Take?

If you feel that your insurance provider is violating the regulations of the Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act, you have options. You can work with the state government to enforce the law and ensure the provider follows it. For example, you can file a complaint with the Texas or Louisiana insurance department, who will then investigate. If the insurance regulator finds that there have been numerous complaints of this nature, they may expand their inquiry, which may lead to fines or punitive action against your provider. Ultimately, this law gives you the right to pursue a lawsuit to seek the settlement that you are owed.

Testimonials

I was very impressed with the Brasher Law Firm and the help of Nishi Kothari. Always in constant communication and keeping me informed with my case and explaining to me what was going on and taking place. Very easy process and very helpful with getting my case settled and resolved. I would definitely recommend this law firm to others that may have or experience the same problems I had with my insurance company.

I was referred to Nishi and Brasher Law Firm after my father had trouble getting paid for a claim from his insurance company. Not only did I find Nishi to be prompt, courteous and professional… but she was also extremely knowledgeable and efficient. There aren’t enough available stars for my family to express our gratitude for her service! Thank You!
