Do you feel like your insurance company has tried to take advantage of you when you’re most vulnerable? When you’ve experienced injuries or property damage, you expect your insurance company to come through for you. After all, you paid insurance premiums each month to have financial protection in an emergency.
However, insurance companies don’t always pay what they owe. Sometimes they try to avoid paying the full value of your claim to protect their profits. If your insurance company has unfairly denied your claim, you need an insurance attorney.
At the BFH Law Group, our insurance attorneys help policyholders who have experienced denied or unfairly valued insurance claims. When the insurance company realizes that you have an attorney fighting for your rights, they may be less likely to engage in unfair practices.
Our attorneys will pressure the insurance company to give you full compensation for your claim. Contact the BFH Law Group for a free consultation, or keep reading to learn more about Houston insurance claims.

Our insurance attorneys will represent you with skill and compassion, fighting for the money your loved one wanted you to have.
Difficulties with the Insurance Claims Process
Even if you have all your paperwork together and submit a claim according to the insurance company’s requirements, you can still face a denied claim. The insurance claims process can seem frustrating, and you may be tempted to accept a low settlement offer just to put the ordeal behind you. It is a good idea to have an experienced Houston insurance lawyer on your side if you face any of these insurance claim difficulties:
Coverage Limits and Exclusions
You may find it difficult to tell what your policy covers because insurance policies often include complicated language. Sometimes, insurance companies write their policies with vague language and then interpret the policy to exclude your claim. If you think your policy says one thing but the insurance company says another, you need an attorney to fight for your fair compensation.
High-Pressure Tactics
The insurance company may pressure you to give a statement right after your accident or home disaster. You may feel frazzled, confused, and emotionally drained. In this condition, it’s hard to give a careful statement that includes all necessary information.
Instead, you should speak to an attorney before you give a statement to the insurance company. An attorney can help you anticipate what questions the insurance company might ask so that you give complete and accurate answers.
Paying Less than You Deserve
The insurance company might undervalue your claim, focusing on its profits instead of fair payment. When an insurance company opposes claim payouts that threaten profits, they might come up with excuses to reduce the value of your claim. Our insurance attorneys know how to respond to these unfair tactics to give you the best chance of a fair insurance settlement.
Claiming You Are Responsible
The insurance company could claim you are responsible for your accident or property damage. If the insurance company claims you are responsible, they may deny payment. Our investigators will try to find evidence that proves you were not responsible for the injuries or damage. Then our Houston insurance lawyers will pressure the insurance company to give you fair payment for the full value of your claim.
