Are You a Victim of Insurance Bad Faith?
What is First Party Insurance Bad Faith?
West Virginia has laws against bad faith insurance practices. If you are a victim of a denied claim or delay tactics, you have a right to fight to get the benefits you deserve in addition to punitive damages for your troubles.
Insurance companies maximize profitability for their stockholders and fund the astronomically large salaries of their CEOs and top employees by minimizing payments, services and benefits to injured parties.
Insurance defense tactics often include frustrating the policyholder with delay tactics and threats.

Car Accident Injuries
Jeff Robinette was hired by a young woman who had sustained permanent injuries to her foot due to an auto collision. The insurance company offered such a small amount and dealt with her in such a dismissive manner that the treatment of her case amounted to bad faith on the insurance company’s part. Jeff was able to obtain a substantial settlement which allowed this young woman and her husband to pay medical bills, buy a car and a home, and start building a future together.
Brain Injury
While timbering in WV, a heavy equipment operator sustained a permanent brain injury while performing the duties of his job. What price can you put on the loss of a fully functioning, fully reasoning brain? Jeff Robinette was able to negotiate a settlement that was annuitized to provide for this man for the rest of his life.
Financial Losses
A client we represented in Preston County incurred significant structural damage to a commercial building from excessive snow accumulation on the roof of that building. The insurance company offered a less than adequate amount of reimbursement which would have only partially covered the cost of repairs. Jeff Robinette was able to obtain a settlement amount that would fully compensate the building owner for the damages, lost income, and rental expenses resulting from the damage to his building.
