Local South Carolina Civil Justice Attorney with over 20 Years of Courtroom Experience

If you or a family member has been seriously injured, life as you know it has changed.  Though accidents happen in the blink of an eye, recovering from your injuries may be a long, painful and expensive process.  Often, insurance companies will fight to deny or lower the amount of money you receive after an accident.  Suddenly, through no fault of your own, your health and livelihood are on the line.

Even if you have been diligent in paying your car or motorcycle insurance, even if you believed your job offered adequate workers compensation, even if you have paid into Social Security, you may not receive enough money to pay for your medical bills and reimburse you for your lost wages.

Is this fair?  Of course not.  But at the end of the day insurance companies are looking out for their own interests, their bottom line.  They do not have your best interests at heart and would like to settle your claim as quickly and inexpensively as possible.  What can you do?

Bad Faith Insurance Delays and Denials

Insurance bad faith is when an insurance company unreasonable denies or delays the payment of a valid claim. In 1983, the South Carolina Supreme Court recognized that an insurance contract has an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. This gave ordinary people a way to fight a much larger, weathier insurance company when claims were being denied or delayed without reason. Dirk J. Derrick brought his first bad faith claim shortly thereafter and has successfully litigated against large american companies as well as Lloyd's of London. If your insurance company is treating you unfairly, call Dirk at 843-248-7486.
