Representing clients with bad faith insurance claims
Insurance exists to provide people with protection during unexpected life events such as vehicle accidents, natural disasters, personal injury, or sudden disability. When a Georgia insurance company acts dishonestly and intentionally fails to fulfill legal or contractual obligations set forth in the policy, the insured may have a claim for bad faith. Bad faith claims may involve any type of insurance policy including life, health, property, vehicle, and disability.
Insurance companies are obliged to act fairly and put the interests of the insured above their own. If you believe an insurance company acted in bad faith, contact the Atlanta bad faith lawyers at the law offices of Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C., or any of the firm’s eight offices throughout Georgia.
Not every denial of insurance benefits constitutes the basis for a bad faith claim. Some claim disputes or denials may simply be a case of breach of contract. To prove a case of insurance bad faith, the skilled Atlanta insurance lawyers of Kenneth S. Nugent P.C. must establish that the insurance company acted in an unreasonable manner, disregarding their part of the policy agreement by denying or delaying claims for invalid reasons.
Some examples of bad faith actions by Georgia insurers include:
To properly assess if your situation constitutes a bad faith claim, it is best to consult with an experienced Atlanta insurance lawyer such as those at Kenneth S. Nugent P.C.
Atlanta bad faith insurance lawyers understand complex insurance policies. A lawyer can review your policy to determine exactly what is covered and how claims should be handled.

Ken Nugent offers you a free consultation to determine if you have a case.
