Fighting Bad-Faith Insurance Practices

Insurance companies often attempt to delay, underpay, or deny claims—especially in large fire-related cases. Our firm has a track record of holding insurers accountable and ensuring fire victims receive the full compensation they deserve.

Strong Relationships with Investigators & Experts

We leverage our long-standing partnerships with top fire investigators, burn specialists, and legal researchers to build compelling cases and achieve maximum compensation for our clients.

BB&L has stood by wildfire victims for decades, helping them rebuild their lives after devastating losses. Our firm has successfully represented clients in wrongful death lawsuits, total loss property claims, and severe injury cases.

Recent Case Successes include a

• 7-Figure Settlement for a 2018 Wildfire Victim (Wrongful Death)
• $3.16 Million verdict for a burn victim

Insurance claims for fire-related losses can be overwhelming. Here’s how to protect your rights and maximize your claim:

1. Keep Detailed Records

• Document all communication with your insurer
• Maintain emails, phone logs, and letters for reference
• Do not rush into a low settlement—understand your full claim value

2. Evaluate Public Adjusters Carefully

• Public adjusters can assist with large claims, but they charge up to 20% of your settlement
• BB&L can help determine if this is the right option for your case

3. Fight Back Against Bad-Faith Insurance Tactics

• If your insurer delays, denies, or underpays without reason, they may be acting in bad faith
• BB&L attorneys challenge insurance companies to secure fair compensation

4. Document Your Losses Accurately

• Create a detailed list of damaged or lost property
• Provide photos, receipts, and proof of purchase
• Do not settle until all damages are accounted for
