Insurance Claims

Liability, Casualty and Bad Faith Insurance Claims

Most of his career has been spent advocating on behalf of personal injury clients involving insurance claims.  Over that time Charleston, West Virginia attorney JB Akers has gained extensive knowledge of West Virginia insurance laws and regulations necessary to protect you in an insurance dispute. His experience can help you determine whether an insurer denied your legitimate claim for improper reasons. If you are having trouble with your homeowners, life, disability, health, commercial, auto insurance or any other type of policy, contact Akers Law Offices for a free consultation.  We can help you decide whether your insurer has commited an act of bad faith or otherwise improperly denied your claim.

It is important to remember that your insurance policy is a contract.  When you paid your premiums your insurance company made certain promises in exchange for your money.  While it doesn't happen in every case there are unfortunately many expamples of insurers denying or underpaying on claims after intitially promising coverage and accepting someone's premium.  There is certainly nothing wrong with insurance companies making a profit.  However, insurers absolutely should not profit at the expense of their policyholders by refusing to pay legitimate claims.

We represent individuals, businesses and families with insurance claim problems such as:

• Denial of claims for flood, hail, or fire insurance
• Unreasonable cancellation of coverage
• Failure to make a prompt and thorough investigation of your claim or a claim against you on a liability policy
• Wrongful denial of uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) benefits under a car insurance policy
• Unreasonable underpayment of medical claims
• Rejected claims under health, medical, or disability insurance policies
• Unreasonable denial or termination of benefits
• Delays in payment of covered claims
• Denial of the duty to defend or indemnify you under a homeowner's policy, general liability or professional liability coverage for business, lawyers, doctors, engineers, architects or contractors
• Refusal to honor a commercial insurance contract or other business policy

At Akers Law Offices we also help injured clients obtain access to the medical care, rehabilitative services or diagnostic tests they need after insurance companies create barriers to treatment or reject a claim. If your claim involves failure to pay on a commercial or business policy we can also help coordinate your case with credible, knowledgeable experts who can fully value your loss.

Our understanding of insurance law under many different kinds of policies and circumstances can serve as a powerful weapon to help you receive the full benefit of your coverage, whatever your claim might involve.
