If someone else’s negligence caused your injury and you have been attempting to talk to their insurance company about it, you should hear back from them. It is time to take action if you do not and they do not answer your inquiries for details. Following this, call Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 for a free legal consultation to discuss how we may best assist you.
The obligation of insurance companies to act in good faith
The first thing to be aware of is that insurance providers are legally required to “act in good faith.” This implies that they cannot disregard you without repercussions. They cannot deceive you about the case, so to speak. Yes, they can omit to disclose you some details, but they are not allowed by law to outright lie or imply a lie.
You are not compelled to give a recorded statement, for instance. They can portray it as a typical, anticipated aspect of the procedures. They want you to tell your experience publicly so they can take advantage of even the smallest discrepancies between your story and the stories of others. They are not required to explicitly state that this is not required, but they cannot lie to you if you ask if it is.
Amassing documentation
Make sure to preserve written records of everything if you suspect an insurance agent is deceiving or ignoring you. Note the time you tried to reach them, the response you received, and the person you spoke with. Get everything in writing whenever you can. Send them an email if you need to get in touch with them so you have proof that you attempted. You have every right to request this in order to maintain correct records.
