Springfield Bad Faith Insurance Attorneys
Representing Clients Against Big Insurance Companies in Missouri
When you take out an insurance policy for property, health, or life insurance benefits, you have a right to receive benefits promptly when you file a legitimate claim. The insurance industry has expended a great deal of money and lobbying efforts to ensure that there is no single federal agency that oversees their policy and benefits practices.
The result has been that Missouri is required to oversee bad faith insurance practices, which gives the insurance industry lobbyists more personal and direct access and influence.
Fortunately, the experienced Springfield bad faith insurance lawyers of Strong-Garner-Bauer P.C. can help you fight back against denied and partially paid claims.
We have over 45 years of experience and have obtained over $7 billion on behalf of our clients.

What Is Insurance Bad Faith?
Insurance companies act in bad faith when they fail to honor the contracts their clients have signed. Our Missouri bad faith insurance attorneys can help you fight back against bad faith practices such as:
- Failing to act or to respond promptly to a policyholder’s claim
- Failing to establish a policy of prompt investigation of claims
- Failing to pay or deny claims within time after policyholder has submitted all required proof of loss information has been submitted
- Forcing policyholders to file litigation in order to receive benefits
- Attempting to settle a claim for less than a reasonable person might be expected to receive for covered damages
- Denying claims without first conducting an investigation of the damages
- Informing a policyholder of the company’s policy to appeal arbitration awards, in an effort to get the claimant to accept a low settlement offer
This is just an abbreviated list of some of the bad faith insurance practices that are common. If you have been experiencing unfair tactics like these while seeking an insurance settlement, it may be time to take legal action.
