Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, Bad Faith Insurance Lawyers
If you took the steps necessary to purchase life, home or auto insurance, you reasonably believed that you would receive needed funds if something happens to you or your spouse or to your home, car or other property. You have rights regarding compensation through insurance benefits if you have paid insurance premiums. Furthermore, if certain types of insurance have been in effect for a period of time, the insurance company can lose its right to claim it does not have to pay.
If an event has occurred and your insurance company has: 1) refused to pay benefits and denied your claim; 2) claimed that the injuries, death or damages were not covered by your policy; or 3) made only partial payments and disputed your claim for full benefits, we can help. We can answer your questions, review your policy, investigate the situation and, if appropriate, provide full legal representation in negotiations and litigation to achieve the full benefits you deserve.
If Your Insurance Company Won't Pay, Call Us.
The Hughey Law Firm LLC, located in Mt. Pleasant, handles bad faith insurance claims involving life insurance, auto insurance, disability insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), car insurance, and more. Nathan Hughey has handled insurance cases in the South Carolina Court of Appeals and argued and won before the South Carolina Supreme Court. He has handled numerous cases before the South Carolina trial courts on insurance issues.
If your insurance carrier refuses to pay for damages or injuries, claiming you have reached your coverage limits or that other parties' insurance applies, we can help. If your life or health insurance company has claimed that a non-disclosed preexisting condition precludes you from coverage after death or injury, we can help. If your homeowner or commercial property insurer claims that the damages you have suffered are not covered by your policy, we can help.
We have worked successfully to force insurance companies to pay for claims involving uninsured and underinsured motorists, injuries, health care, damaged property and death. We can determine what is truly covered by your policy, pursue payment and, in some cases, sue for misrepresentation and bad faith, entitling you to not only actual but punitive damages. In the past, attorney Nathan Hughey has defended a variety of insurance companies but now uses his knowledge to protect the rights of people facing insurers acting in bad faith and work to obtain full payment of benefits for their claims.
In one recent case, the life insurance company claimed it did not have to pay due to misrepresentations by the insured, as well as a lapse in payment. We were able to secure a full $250,000.00 payment together with interest, by aggressively outlining the law applicable to the case and showing the carrier it had no choice but to pay.
