Breach of Contract
Insurance companies may offer a flimsy technical reason when attempting to avoid settling insurance claims. But an individual is nearly powerless against big insurers in a claim denial. D. Scott Hurley backs up your claim with 20 years of experience in complex insurance litigation and extensive knowledge of Tennessee insurance laws.
We have helped clients assert their contractual right to compensation for:
- Fire loss
- Flooding
- Theft
- Property damage
- Auto accidents (liability and uninsured/underinsured motorist)
Mr. Hurley examines the policy provisions and exclusions to verify client rights and then negotiates directly with insurance adjusters. If the insurer refuses to settle your claim, he is prepared to go to trial to obtain justice.
Insurance Bad Faith Litigation
There is a difference between a policy interpretation dispute and outright bad faith. The Hurley Law Firm obtains insurance company documents such as internal e-mails and records, by subpoena if necessary. We aim to prove that the insurance carrier denied the claim without a legitimate review, or to demonstrate a pattern of looking for any reason to deny yours and similar claims. Tennessee law allows certain victims of bad faith insurance denial to recover the original policy limits, plus a penalty of up to 25 percent.
D. Scott Hurley has succeeded in insurance litigation against most of the major insurance companies, including AllState, State Farm, USF&G and Indiana Insurance Co. For proven, dedicated representation, contact our Knoxville office at 865-523-1414 to see how we can help.
