If you have submitted an insurance claim and you believe you have been unfairly denied, you may have legal rights to pursue payment with the help of an attorney.
Policyholders enter a contractual agreement with their insurance company of choice, in exchange for the peace of mind that they will come through for you when the time comes that you have a legitimate claim. In other words, they will work with you in “good faith.” This isn’t simply good customer service, but a legal obligation.

Insurance Coverage Denied
Unfortunately, there are instances when insurance companies do not live up to their end of the bargain. A bad faith insurance case can be pursued for various reasons, including if an insurance company does any of the following:
- Denies that a valid claim is covered under your policy
- Denies a claim without a reasonable explanation
- Delays an investigation or payment of a claim
- Only pays a portion of the benefits of a claim
- Alters the policy terms without notice

There are a number of additional ways an insurance company can be found to be acting in bad faith. Given the long list of ways they may not be acting in your best interest, consulting with an attorney who has the experience and in-depth expertise in insurance bad faith litigation is absolutely critical.
If you have filed an insurance claim, you have already gone through enough emotional turmoil. If the insurance company is not working with you to pay your claim, it only makes matters worse. You deserve someone on your side who will take on that burden and fight for your legal rights.
A Former Client:
“My 19 year old son was killed on his second day at work at Pacific Top Soil. Because the L&I laws were written long ago, it was very difficult to find a wrongful death attorney to take on our case. Finally after a year of looking for representation, I was referred to Roger Davidheiser from Friedman & Rubin in Seattle. He was always available by phone or email if I had questions and he always kept me updated when progress was being made. He always informed me if he would be unavailable due to other client cases or out of Town/State travel. Roger Davidheiser was able to bring all parties involved in my son’s death to mediation. We settled after a full day of negotiations and avoided a lawsuit and trial. Even after the settlement, Roger Davidheiser has continued to assist my husband and me in ongoing criminal investigation of the company. He has been very professional during this long process and went above and beyond for my family to see that justice was being done. Roger was dedicated to making sure this company as well other companies are held responsible for not following the rules. I highly recommend Roger Davidheiser for representation.”
Bad Faith Insurance Lawyer
While victims of crime have their day in court by attempting to criminally prosecute the perpetrator(s) to the maximum extent allowed under the law, the results of their actions can also be tried as a tort case in order to retrieve just monetary compensation.
Criminal and tort cases are two distinct forms of legal practices. However, there are also similarities. Both try to identify the wrongdoer(s), act as a deterrent to others, and come to a conclusion that either exonerates or punishes the defendant for their actions. But when the victim feels they have a just reason to seek financial restitution for the harm that came to them, this is where the criminal case ends, and a tort case begins.
Roger Davidheiser spent many years successfully prosecuting high profile criminal cases. He can bring that intimate understanding of criminal law to bear if your criminal case turns into a tort case that seeks restitution for your injuries or loss.
