The goal\u00a0of an insurance company is to collect premiums from their consumers and\u00a0avoid paying money for claims filed. Their goal is not always to pay for\u00a0the claims filed by their policy holders. When you file a claim, you need\u00a0to be aware of how the insurance company wants the claim to end and how\u00a0that differs from what you need and want. While there are honorable insurance\u00a0company representatives that do want to help people in need, there are\u00a0also some who do all they can to cheat their consumers out of the money\u00a0they deserve. One of the most common ways that insurance providers avoid\u00a0paying on claims is\u00a0<a href=\"\/Failure-to-Investigate\/\">not investigating<\/a> them in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>After a customer files a claim, the insurance company is supposed to investigate\u00a0the claim and then offer the compensation that they see fit for the situation.\u00a0Unfortunately, all too often they do not investigate and they simply reduce\u00a0or deny the claim. If your insurance provider denied your claim without\u00a0even investigating your claim, you can sue for bad faith insurance. For\u00a0help in this process, contact a Texas insurance bad faith lawyer from\u00a0Brasher Law Firm, PLLC. Investigations generally include a person being\u00a0sent to examine the damaged property and determining the validity of your\u00a0claim. If they do not do so, you may be able to receive compensation not\u00a0only for your property damage claim, but also for the bad faith you experienced\u00a0from your insurance company. Team up with a Texas bad faith insurance\u00a0attorney from our firm for help in your case. The clients we take on do\u00a0not have to pay us unless we recover damages in their case. You have nothing to lose,\u00a0<a href=\"\/Contact\/\">call today<\/a> for a\u00a0<a href=\"\/Free-Case-Evaluation\/\">free consultation!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is important for insurance consumers to be aware that their insurance\u00a0company is not necessarily on their side after a claim is filed.
