AUTO INSURANCE LITIGATION
When insurance companies deny, delay, or undervalue your legitimate claim, we hold them accountable. Experienced representation for bad faith insurance disputes in Las Vegas.
Insurance companies are in business to make profits, and they often achieve this by denying valid claims, delaying payments, or offering settlements far below what you deserve. When you've paid premiums faithfully and then face unfair treatment during your time of need, you have legal recourse.
At Cardenas Law Group, we represent policyholders in disputes with insurance companies throughout Nevada. Whether you're dealing with your own insurer after an accident, fighting a denial, or facing unfair claim practices, we have the experience to take on major insurance corporations.
Insurance litigation involves legal disputes between policyholders and insurance companies. This typically occurs when an insurer refuses to honor the terms of a policy, denies a legitimate claim, delays payment unreasonably, or offers an inadequate settlement that doesn't cover your actual losses.
Nevada law requires insurance companies to act in good faith when handling claims. Bad faith occurs when insurers:
Deny valid claims without reasonable investigation
Unreasonably delay claim processing or payment
Offer settlements far below the actual value of the claim
Fail to properly investigate your claim
Misrepresent policy terms or coverage
Refuse to defend you in a covered lawsuit
Use pressure tactics to force low settlements
Request excessive or irrelevant documentation
Insurance adjusters use various strategies to minimize payouts:
Offering quick settlements that are far less than your claim is worth, hoping you'll accept out of financial desperation.
Dragging out the claims process for months or years, forcing you to wait for the compensation you need.
Repeatedly asking for more paperwork, medical records, or information to frustrate and discourage you.
Claiming you were at fault, misrepresenting the facts, or arguing that your injuries aren't as severe as claimed.
Claiming certain damages or injuries aren't covered when they actually are under your policy.
Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS 686A.310) requires insurers to act in good faith and deal fairly with policyholders. When they violate this duty, you can sue for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
Under Nevada law, insurance companies have a legal duty to:
When insurers violate these duties, you may be entitled to more than just your policy benefits: you can also recover damages for the insurer's bad faith conduct.
If you prove bad faith, you may recover:
Carefully read your insurance policy to understand your coverage and the insurer's stated reason for denial.
Keep copies of all correspondence, claim forms, denial letters, and records of phone calls with your insurer.
Ask your insurance company to provide a detailed written explanation for the denial, citing specific policy provisions.
Insurance companies often deny claims initially, hoping you won't fight back. You have the right to appeal.
