Bad Faith & Denied Commercial Claims

Insurance companies have a legal duty to handle claims promptly and fairly. When they do not, they may be acting in bad faith—a serious violation of Texas law.

Insurance companies have a legal duty to handle claims promptly and fairly. When they do not, they may be acting in bad faith—a serious violation of Texas law.

Signs of Bad Faith:

  • Unreasonable delays or lack of communication.

  • Unexplained denials or low settlement offers.

  • Misrepresenting policy provisions to minimize payment.

  • Failing to properly investigate or consider evidence of loss.

What You Can Do

If you suspect your insurer isn’t acting in good faith, contact our firm immediately. We will review your policy, gather evidence of wrongdoing and, if necessary, file a lawsuit seeking additional damages, attorneys’ fees and statutory penalties. In many cases, holding an insurer accountable for bad faith not only results in a fairer settlement for you but also deters similar behavior toward other policyholders.


Don’t let unfair tactics go unchallenged. If your commercial claim has been denied or undervalued, reach out to Duke Law Firm to explore your options.
