What is Insurance Coverage Opinion?

An insurance coverage opinion is an attorney’s opinion on whether an insurance company covers a particular situation. Insurance coverage is dynamic, and concerns may arise regarding how an insurance policy should be designed and interpreted. An insurance coverage attorney helps the insurer and the insured receive a fair examination and judgment of the dispute.

A coverage opinion is an ideal way for an insurance company to show fairness when differences of opinion over coverage arise. You need the legal services of a reputable legal firm with knowledge of insurance policies and how Arizona courts interpret the various clauses.

Once you retain our services, our Arizona insurance coverage attorney will read through the claim and pinpoint the relevant facts that weigh heavily on how the dispute may be resolved. Secondly, they will implement the policy provisions according to the insurance laws in Arizona. Our lawyers more often predict accurately how the courts will likely resolve the dispute.
An Insurance company working with a coverage opinion lawyer enjoys numerous benefits, including:

•  Saving time and resources by finding out the answer to an arising concern before someone files a lawsuit.

Bad Faith Insurance Disputes

Bad faith insurance dispute occurs when an insurance company tries to go back on its obligations to policyholders. They do this by either refusing to pay a legitimate claim or failing to investigate and process a policyholder’s claim within a reasonable time.

Since this violates the fiduciary-type relationship between the policyholder and the insurance company, the insured can file a lawsuit against the insurance company. Situations where insurance companies act in bad faith include:

•  Misrepresenting the law: The insurance company intentionally interprets a policy against a claimant’s interest.
•  Unreasonable delays: Insurance companies deliberately drag conducting investigations before agreeing to pay.
• Refusing to pay: The Insurer knowingly refuses to pay or underpays a genuine policy.
• Misleading practices: Insurance companies fail to disclose an existing coverage or notify you of a claim filing deadline.
• Record an incomplete investigation: Insurance companies must conduct a prompt and thorough investigation into any claim.
•  Use of inappropriate language: An insurance representative uses threatening statements to the policyholder or third party.
