If you believe you have been wrongfully denied an insurance payment for a covered loss, you have a right to seek compensation for bad faith. If you wish to review your options, talk to an experienced insurance lawyer as soon as possible. The law imposes a statute of limitations, which varies from state to state, giving you a limited time in which to pursue your claim.

Class Action Lawsuits

Class action lawsuits are brought by named plaintiffs, usually one or two, whose alleged injuries are the same as those of a large number of other parties. The plaintiffs do not have to be individuals; businesses may also be class plaintiffs. The purpose of a class action is to combine many similar causes of action. The cause of the common injury could be from any number of sources, such as from violations of federal regulations, product defects, securities fraud, or environmental issues. When multiple plaintiffs with similar claims are involved, litigating each case individually would be expensive and time consuming. A class action suit allows for a combined effort, potentially saving litigation costs and time spent in preparation for and in court.
