We're Built
for the Fight.

When you file a claim with your insurance company, but the insurer isn’t considering your claim in a timely manner, this may be a bad faith insurance claim. The insurance company may try to deny your claim by using confusing language or by saying you don’t qualify for payment because of a technicality. Remember, insurance companies are for-profit companies. They can increase their profits by denying claims. Our law firm in Nevada will work hard to force your insurer to treat you with respect and to honor the commitment it made to you while you were paying your insurance premiums.

If your case contains a few key elements, our Nevada attorneys will be ready to represent you in a bad faith claim. These may include:

• Delaying a response to your claim or offering a payment for your claim that is unreasonable
• Lying about the type of coverage you have
• Changing your existing coverage without notifying you
• Failing to provide specific reasons and documentation for the denial of your claim
• Canceling your policy after you make a legitimate claim.

Perhaps the best way to fight against the denial of your insurance claim is to hire our law firm in Nevada to represent you. When we attempt to have the insurer overturn its decision, we will start by spelling out in writing the reasons for questioning the denial. We will present evidence in writing that gives support to our attempt to overturn the denial. We will request a response to our claims within a certain period of time. Eventually, if we cannot make headway, we can take the case to trial through a lawsuit.

After an accident in which you suffered injuries, you may hear from the other driver’s insurer while you are still in the hospital. The insurer may call repeatedly, over multiple days, with what seems like the same questions over and over. The insurance company may be trying to trick you into contradicting an answer you gave to a similar question a few days ago. It then can use this contradiction to try to reduce or deny your claim. You are under no obligation to speak to the insurer without having our Nevada lawyers present. Once you hire us to represent you, we can take over all communications with the insurer, so you can focus on your recovery.

We understand that in the weeks and months after an injury accident, you may be unable to work. Money may be tight. We do not want to add to your financial worries. That is why we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that our fee will be a percentage of the final settlement amount in the case. You will pay us nothing ahead of time to secure our services. If we do not win an award for you, you do not owe us anything.

One of the things that sets Leverty & Associates apart from other Nevada law firms is that we are not afraid to take cases to trial when warranted. We will attempt to reach a settlement through negotiations, but if the insurance company is not acting in good faith, we appreciate the opportunity to tell your story in court. We always are sharpening our trial skills and practices by attending seminars, by reading about the latest techniques for presenting a case in court, and by using focus groups to test new techniques. We always thoroughly prepare for trials, and we believe this gives us a significant advantage by being ready for any twist in your case.

We are a client-centric Nevada law firm, so we take pride in the accessibility we provide for our clients. We always take the time to learn as much as we can about the hopes and goals of our clients for the outcome in the case and for their lives going forward. We feel this is incredibly important, as it allows us to represent you and your interests as accurately as possible. Other law firms may try to rush clients through the process, so they can ramp up the number of cases they handle. We do not believe in this philosophy. We focus on giving our best effort to each client instead, which sets our team apart from the others. We will keep you informed about the progress of the case at every step along the way as well. Our clients appreciate our caring attitude, and they know we work extremely hard for them.
