Insurance companies assume the risk of an accident in exchange for insurance premiums. Your right to receive payment on a claim, whether for car insurance, homeowners insurance, medical insurance or other insurance, is that simple – or at least it should be. In reality, many insurance companies would rather hold onto your premiums and pay you as little as possible on your claim – if anything at all. However, in Ohio, insurers have a legal duty to treat customers in good faith and deal with them fairly. When they don’t, they’re acting in bad faith, can be held accountable and The Robenalt Law Firm, Inc. can help you fight back.
Insurance companies can act in bad faith for many reasons, including denying claims outright, undervaluing claims, offering unfair settlements, delaying claims unreasonably, making the process more difficult and more.
Insurance companies who successfully act in bad faith end up with more money in their pockets, while policyholders end up with little or nothing – and a lot of headache.
Insurance companies know that the average policyholder likely feels intimidated by taking legal action against a multi-million, or multi-billion, dollar corporation with a team of attorneys whose sole job it is to keep your hard earned premiums.
Aside from denying a claim outright, insurers know that making life difficult for policyholders who need their claims paid as soon as possible will likely result in a “low ball” settlement offer. In many cases, policyholders simply accept a lesser amount to be done with the matter and move on with their lives.
The bottom line is that insurance companies know they can get away with bad faith insurance practices. Is it fair? No. Can you do something about it? Yes. Will it cost you anything to fight back? Absolutely not – with the help of an experienced bad faith insurance attorney. At Robenalt Law, we fight insurance companies and big corporations daily and know that to get a fair result, you have to hire an experienced lawyer who will be aggressive.
When you’ve been the victim of a personal injury or you have suffered a significant property damage loss or fire loss, you will likely always be dealing with an insurance company. While most insurers have a team of lawyers to represent their best interests, it’s equally important to have someone representing yours.
Depending on the type of personal injury or property damage loss you suffered, you may be entitled to compensation in the form of:
These are only a few of the most common forms of damages available and it’s important to realize that every situation is different. Courts may also award additional damages when insurance companies act in bad faith.

Having worked as an insurance defense lawyer at the start of his career, he saw how insurers treated their policyholders and the tactics they used to make their shareholders – not their policyholders – happy. Let his experience help you get everything you deserve – and more.
