Have you noticed how efficient an insurance company can be when seeking payment of a premium from you as compared with paying your claim? This is no accident. It occurs by design. In legal terminology, this sort of behavior is referred to as "insurance bad faith" or breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

Whether the claim involves medical bills, homeowner coverage, a business loss, or an uninsured/ underinsured motorist policy, insurance companies routinely allege that they somehow lost or did not receive supporting documents sent by you. The insurance adjuster assigned to your claim, who seems to change weekly, engages in endless foot-dragging while "investigating" or "evaluating" the matter. If you're fortunate, you eventually get a low-ball settlement offer amounting to far less than the value of your claim.

The average policyholder wonders how much misery he or she is obligated to endure in dealing with the insurance company. The answer is, "none". You paid your premiums year after year, and for what? For that day when it is necessary to make a claim. But the insurance company fosters the impression that it is doing you a favor by responding to your claim. Well, just keep in mind that you paid in full for all the coverage due under your policy. Until such is provided to you, your insurance company has done nothing whatsoever to earn all those premiums you faithfully paid over the years.

The Traut Firm has successfully prosecuted hundreds of such insurance bad faith cases. All cases are handled on a contingency basis: No fee is paid unless and until you win. And there are no "up front" costs to you. Unlike many firms which will routinely assign your case to an associate attorney (who gains experience at your expense), at the Traut Firm you get either James or Eric to personally represent you. James was voted the 2002 Trial Lawyer of the Year by the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association. Eric received the same honor for 2003. So, if you are interested in receiving the insurance coverage you paid for, while inflicting some well-deserved grief on that reprehensible insurance company, you can do no better than the Traut Firm.
