Beaufort Insurance Claim Attorneys
You can't watch television for five minutes without seeing a warm and fuzzy insurance company commercial. With Allstate, you are in good hands. State Farm is like a good neighbor. Nationwide is on your side. Unfortunately, when you file a claim, your relationship with the insurance company can change. Suddenly, your insurance company may begin to treat you like an adversary rather than a customer.
At Twenge + Twombley, our attorneys represent individuals and businesses in Hilton Head Island, Beaufort, Bluffton and throughout the Lowcountry of South Carolina who have been mistreated by their insurance company. Our lawyers handle claims involving homeowners insurance, general business liability, auto accident liability, uninsured/underinsured motorists, life insurance, disability and other types of insurance claims. We offer a free initial consultation to evaluate your case and answer your questions.
The following are examples of the types of cases we handle:
- Denied insurance claims
- Delayed payment of insurance claims
- Lowball offers
- Forcing you to jump through hoops to obtain benefits
- Failing to defend you in a lawsuit
An insurance policy is a contract between you and the insurance company. In addition to providing coverage in accordance to what is written on the policy, the insurance company has a duty to treat you fairly. If your insurance company fails in this duty, it may be guilty of insurance bad faith.
Whenever possible, we will seek attorney fees from the insurance company. In South Carolina, you can also get punitive or exemplary damages if your insurance company treats you unfairly — such as denying a claim without a reasonable basis or failing to investigate your claim. Punitive damages are damages beyond your actual damages and are used by the court to punish the insurance company so the behavior doesn't happen again.
