Insurance Law — Maximizing Recovery, Bad Faith, Failure or Delay in Paying Claims
You buy insurance for peace of mind. You expect that the coverage you've paid for will be there to protect you when something goes wrong. Sometimes, however, that doesn't happen. Insurance companies do not always fulfill their obligations—and that's when our insurance claim lawyers can help.
If you have an insurance claim that has been improperly handled, you need attorneys who understand insurance policies and laws, as well as insurance lawyers. Berman & Simmons attorneys know how to make insurance work for you.
Maximizing your insurance recovery
At Berman & Simmons, we help you maximize recovery by exploring all of your legal options. This will include examining all potentially applicable insurance policies and pursuing claims, as necessary, against uninsured or underinsured motorist carriers.
Bad faith, failure or delay in paying insurance claims, unfair claims practices
Insurance companies hire lawyers to avoid responsibility for paying you a fair settlement. To defeat them, you need your own aggressive and creative lawyers. We'll help you determine if you have a claim and we'll will fight to hold your insurance company accountable.
Our goal is the same as yours: to maximize the amount of your settlement or verdict.

How much will our services cost?
You may be wondering how you will pay legal fees while your lawsuit is pending. The good news is—you won't pay anything upfront. We represent all professional liability clients on a contingent fee basis. This means we receive fees for our services only if we win. When we've successfully prevailed upon the responsible party or insurer to pay you, that's when we'll receive our payment, as well. Your lawsuit begins with a free case evaluation with a Berman & Simmons lawyer. We will thoroughly explain the details of our fee arrangement during this first consultation.
Why have so many other lawyers and Maine residents come to us over the years? The answer is simple: we get outstanding results.
