Although each case is unique, they generally follow these steps:
At your initial consultation, we review your case, including the terms of the insurance policy, and advise you of your legal options. If you do have a valid bad-faith case and we agree to work together, then we begin our own investigation.
We will ask for a copy of the insurance policy; if it’s another party’s, then we will obtain it from them. Next, we contact the insurance company and verify the status of your claim. If there are other documents, like medical records or property damage estimates, we'll request those, too.
Our investigation is our preparation to support your claim in court. We may interview witnesses of the incident to verify that the cause was one covered by the policy. We may also complete discovery and formal questioning of witnesses or the insurance adjuster under oath.
After filing a bad faith lawsuit, we may be able to settle with the insurance company outside of court, in mediation, or through a demand letter. We negotiate with them on your behalf, seeking a fair settlement and other damages.
If we cannot achieve a resolution through negotiation, then our lawyers can take your case to trial in a Texas civil court.

After filing an insurance claim in Texas, it’s important to know a few reasons why it could be denied. Knowing the potential reasons for denial can help you prepare ahead of time to avoid them and increase the chances the claim will be approved.
Common reasons an insurance company will deny your claim include:
Although these are reasons that an insurance company will deny an invalid claim, they’re also reasons that they may give to deny a valid one - even if you turn in everything correctly and completely. A lawyer can verify whether your claim complies with all the carrier’s requirements.
The length of time it takes to settle a bad faith insurance claim varies depending on how complex the matter is and if it's a large claim. The insurance company has 15 days to respond and settle a claim once it receives the claim.
If it does not settle the claim, then the claimant must file suit within two years of the date of the incident. A lawsuit can take anywhere from a year to several years to conclude.
The insurance company will ask for many documents from you, like a police report, medical records, and a proof of loss statement. Having these ready to submit, or sending them with the claim, helps expedite their investigation.
