Our Houston Bad Faith Lawyer Helps With Denied Insurance Claims
You’ve been involved in an accident or experienced a terrible misfortune. You know that you’ll be able to weather the storm because you have insurance for this exact incident. But you’re shocked and left hung out to dry when your insurance company fails to do their part.
Does this sound familiar? It’s a far-too-common story for insurance policyholders. When an insurance company doesn’t live up their end of the bargain, they are often acting in bad faith, which means that they are using bogus reasons for denying or lessening the payment they should be giving you.
These claims are about more than just payment. They are also about fairness.

Contact Terry Bryant Accident & Injury Law at (713) 973-8888 or toll-free 1 (800) 444-5000 to speak to our insurance attorneys who know how to get their clients the payment they’ve been promised. If your insurance claim was unfairly denied, we can help.
Why You Have Insurance
We carry insurance to cover our losses when bad things happen. In some cases, we do this because we are required to do so by law. In other cases, we do it simply because we know that planning for unforeseen hard times is in our best interests.
People can have insurance policies covering nearly any possession or event, but these types of insurance policies are the most common:
- Vehicle insurance
- Home insurance
- Health insurance
- Property insurance
- Life insurance.
Unfortunately, the fact that you have an insurance policy doesn’t guarantee you’ll get the payment you deserve when disaster strikes. Policyholders are still dependent on insurance companies’ living up to their promises. When they fail to do so, they are acting in bad faith, and you should consider exploring your legal options.
When an Insurance Company is Acting in Bad Faith They Deny Full Payment of Claims
Insurance companies use many tactics to lessen or deny the payment they should offer insurance policyholders. Have you encountered any of the following?
- Offering you less than you deserve
- Denying a claim entirely
- Making unreasonable demands
- Delaying payment
- Harassment or threat of lawsuits
- Making policy changes without notifying policyholders.
These are just a few of the bad faith actions insurance companies can take, but there are many more. Policyholders typically know when they’re being given a raw deal. You should know that you don’t have to accept these bad faith tactics. Contact the Houston bad faith insurance attorneys at Terry Bryant Accident & Injury Law to learn more about your legal options.
Excuses Given by Insurance Companies
We’ve heard several excuses that insurance companies use to justify why they don’t have to pay their policyholders.
These are just a few examples of why companies unfairly deny insurance claims:
- Your premium wasn’t paid on time.
- The treatments you want covered aren’t medically proven.
- The company isn’t liable for the claim you’ve filed.
- Your policy limit has been reached.
- Your condition is related to a prior injury.
- The injuries or damage was your fault.
- You didn’t seem to be injured after the accident.
- Your credibility isn’t reliable.
