Negligent Claims Handling by Insurance Companies

April 23, 2026

Tough-negotiating attorneys ready to obtain justice for victims of negligent claims handling in Maine

Insurance companies have certain legal obligations to handle claims with a reasonable degree of efficiency and ethical conduct toward the party that has suffered personal injury or property loss. Unfortunately, not all claimants are treated in this manner.

If getting a fair settlement or filing your claim is proving to be especially difficult, we have the resources and expertise to tip the scales of justice back in your favor. We won’t be intimidated by insurance company tactics. Call 1-(207) 225 5563 before you sign anything.

In certain cases, the first party insurer (insurance company) may be liable for:

  • Breach of contract
  • Negotiating a settlement in bad faith
  • Relying on unfair claims settlement practices which unfairly pressure the injured party
  • Violating the late payment statute

We can help you fight for the claim you deserve.

A negligent claim handling doesn’t have to derail your work and daily life. Get back on track with experienced personal legal representation. Call Joe today.

We will share with you our honest opinion about the various options available to you and will communicate with you in a respectful manner that is straightforward and easy to understand. Our experienced attorneys have helped more than 25,000 Mainers just like you to move forward after a personal injury case.

You don’t have to pay us anything before you win your settlement, and there is no cost for a case evaluation. Contact our offices today at 1-(207) 225 5563.
