Top-Rated Insurance Bad Faith Attorneys

Levy | von Beck | Comstock | Chastain | P.S represents homeowners, condominium associations, and commercial property owners who have property insurance claims stemming from a fire loss, water damage, earthquake damage, structural collapse, or a variety of other casualty losses. We have successfully pursued claims under owners’ insurance policies, including policies issued by Liberty, Safeco, Allstate, Amica, State Farm, Chubb, Pemco, MetLife, AIG/Chartis, and many others. In the current climate of tightening insurance for owners, good legal representation is essential when pursuing a claim against your insurance carrier. Even if your claim is ultimately not covered under the insurance policy, the insurer’s duties under the law require that it pay for, or at least contribute to, the cost of investigating a potential property loss.

We have found that many insurers have corporate policies in place that are designed to save the company money at the expense of the policyholder. Fortunately, there are laws in place, including the Insurance Fair Conduct Act (IFCA) in Washington and other statutes and regulations, that require insurers to act in good faith – and these laws provide additional remedies for the policyholder whose insurer has not met its good faith obligations. Remedies available under IFCA include triple damages and recovery of your attorney fees if you prevail on a bad faith claim.

We work tirelessly on behalf of our policyholder clients to pursue the remedies they deserve. And we recommend you retain a qualified attorney early on to assist with your claim. Remember, the insurer is in the business of handling claims and you (we hope) are not. Do not let yourself suffer wrongful delays, denials, and small payouts from your insurer.

If you think you may have claims stemming from a fire loss, water intrusion, defective construction, an earthquake, or a structural collapse, call us or e-mail us now to discuss your case. Let us give your case the comprehensive attention you deserve.

Client Reviews

“Seth Chastain and his team did an outstanding job handling my construction litigation case. While the legal issues were challenging and there was limited case law supporting our position, Seth, Wendy, and the entire team remained committed and persistent throughout the process.

They never backed down, consistently advocated for our interests, and ultimately achieved a very favorable outcome. Their professionalism, communication, and dedication gave me confidence every step of the way during what was a long and complex matter.

I am extremely grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend Seth Chastain and his team to anyone facing a construction defect or construction litigation dispute.

Thank you again for everything.”

“We had a great experience working with Seth and his team. He is knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. We felt supported throughout the process and truly appreciated his expertise and guidance especially with all the twists and turns in the case. Highly recommend.”

Kate

“Great team. Would highly recommend.”

Andre

“We have worked with Seth Chastain on two separate occasions, and both experiences were excellent. From the initial information gathering to the efficient handling of our cases, Seth and his team were professional, respectful of our time, and a pleasure to work with. They successfully negotiated with the insurance companies and obtained significantly higher payouts than what was offered before we retained legal counsel.

I would confidently recommend this firm to any friends or family in need of legal advice.”

Jonathan

“We are very pleased with all the help they have given us. They worked hard for us and got our insurance to cover our claim. Would highly recommend them.”

Why Work With An Insurance Attorney?

Insurance policies are full of obscure terms that can be difficult or seemingly impossible to understand, and insurers often have strong incentives to deny potentially covered claims – or, even if the claim is covered, to drastically undervalue the cost of repairs. Properly understanding policy terms and insurer obligations is critical to determining whether an insurer has improperly refused to cover a loss or provide benefits. Our insurance attorneys are skilled at evaluating coverage, identifying policy benefits to which insureds are entitled, pinpointing insurer misconduct, working with experts, and holding insurers accountable when they act in bad faith to deny coverage or benefits.
