Insurance and Insurance Policy Litigation

Thousands, if not millions of people who live in Tennessee have paid for life insurance policies and for insurance policies covering damage to their homes, business or other property. As many Tennesseans have paid insurance premiums for coverage in the event they are sued by someone else (liability insurance coverage). When you need a Nashville insurance policy lawyer to help you, Pepper Law, PLC can provide you with experienced and aggressive representation. The firm takes insurance policy cases in Nashville and throughout Tennessee.

Whether you have a general commercial liability policy; homeowner’s policy; personal umbrella policy; errors and omissions policy; professional liability policy; are the beneficiary of a life insurance policy; or have any other type of insurance policy, there is always the chance that the insurance company will deny coverage to you. This is likely to happen just when you, your business or your loved ones most need the insurance protection for which you have paid. If you have a liability policy, the insurance company might defend you, but only with a reservation of rights. (When an insurance company reserves its rights, it reserves the right not to pay any damages for which you may be held liable).

If an insurance company has failed to pay you, in some cases, it is possible to recover a bad faith penalty in addition to what the insurance company owes you under the policy. Moreover, it is also possible to recover punitive damages against an insurance company. Under Tennessee law, if a policyholder can prove that the decision of the insurance company to deny coverage or a claim was not made in good faith, the policyholder is entitled to recover a bad faith penalty. Sometimes, this Tennessee law is referred to as the “Bad Faith” statute or “Bad Faith Failure to Pay” statute. The Nashville based law firm of Pepper Law, PLC has years of experience handling insurance policy cases involving bad faith claims.
