The 2017 North Bay wildfires devastated the state of California, and many people still need help filing their fire fire damage insurance claims in Sonoma County California. Maybe your settlement isn’t enough, or maybe you believe that you are not getting the compensation you deserve from your insurance company. No matter the case, The Law Offices of Richard Sax can help you with your fire damage insurance claims in Sonoma County California and surrounding areas Napa County and Lake County.
WHAT DO I DO IF MY FIRE INSURANCE SETTLEMENT IS NOT ENOUGH?
You were so grateful that your home only sustained partial damage in the Santa Rosa fires, so you went ahead and filed a claim with your fire insurance provider only to find out now that either your claim has been denied or it is not enough to cover the repairs from fire damage. An attorney can help you get the compensation that you deserve. Whether you need help filing your claim from the start or pushing the claim through to get what you need in recompense, a skilled lawyer can help you with your claim.
WHAT IS INSURANCE COMPANY BAD FAITH?
Under the law of most jurisdictions in the United States and in California, insurance companies owe a duty of good faith and fair dealing to the persons they insure. This duty is often referred to as the “implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing” which automatically exists by operation of law in every insurance contract. If an insurance company violates that covenant, the insured person (or “policyholder”) may sue the company on a tort claim in addition to a standard breach of contract claim. In such a case, experienced litigator Richard Sax is there for you. With over 3 decades of experience as an attorney, he and his team of experts have the skills you need to fight for your rights.
