Texas Insurance Claim Lawyer: Denied, Delayed, or Underpaid? Know Your Rights


Texas Insurance Claim Lawyer

When Insurance Fails You, We Fight Back

Insurance companies promise protection—but when it’s time to file a claim, many Texans are shocked by delays, denials, or lowball offers. Whether your claim is for auto accidents, storm damage, or personal injury, Francis Injury is ready to fight back. As seasoned Texas insurance claim attorneys, we make sure you’re not pushed around by billion-dollar insurers. If you’ve been mistreated, you may have a legal case for bad faith insurance practices.


⚠️ Signs the Insurance Company is Acting in Bad Faith

Texas law prohibits insurance companies from operating in bad faith. But that doesn’t stop them from trying. If you notice any of the following signs, call Francis Injury immediately:

  • They delay payments without clear reason
  • They ask for excessive, unnecessary documentation
  • Your claim was denied without valid explanation
  • They offer a settlement far below actual damages
  • The adjuster avoids your calls or changes their story

Our legal team can step in and hold insurers accountable. We have a proven track record of forcing settlements that reflect your real loss—plus interest and penalties where applicable.

📂 Common Types of Insurance Disputes in Texas

Insurance issues come in many forms. At Francis Injury, we handle:

✅ Car Accident Claims

Texas is an at-fault state. If the other party’s insurer denies your claim or blames you unfairly, we’ll fight for full compensation.

✅ Storm & Property Damage Claims

Hail, floods, and hurricanes cause billions in losses annually. Homeowners often face undervalued repair estimates. We take on insurance giants that minimize structural or mold damage.

✅ Health Insurance Claim Denials

Was your necessary medical treatment denied? You may be entitled to compensation beyond the cost of care. Insurers that violate Texas Department of Insurance regulations can be sued directly.

✅ Life Insurance & Disability Claims

If a loved one’s life insurance claim was denied or delayed, or your long-term disability benefits were terminated, we can help appeal and litigate for the benefits you were promised.

📝 How the Insurance Claims Process Works in Texas

Understanding the claims process helps protect your rights:

  1. File Your Claim – Report the incident to your insurer ASAP.
  2. Adjuster Review – The insurer assigns an adjuster to inspect damages.
  3. Settlement Offer – You receive an offer (often far below real value).
  4. Negotiation or Legal Action – With our help, you may push for more or go to court.

Don’t sign anything until an attorney reviews it. You could be waiving future legal rights.

📜 Your Rights Under Texas Insurance Law

The Texas Insurance Code protects consumers. Here are key rights you have:

  • The right to receive a decision on your claim within 15 days
  • The right to clear and specific denial reasons
  • The right to file a complaint with the Texas Department of Insurance
  • The right to sue for bad faith damages and penalties

If your insurer violates these rights, you can recover not only what you’re owed, but additional compensation for emotional distress, delay damages, attorney fees, and more.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bad faith insurance claim?

Bad faith occurs when an insurance company fails to uphold its obligations to the policyholder—delaying, denying, or lowballing a claim unfairly.

What if I already accepted a low offer?

You may still have options. If the offer was made in bad faith or under misleading terms, we can fight to reopen your case.

Can I sue my insurance company?

Yes. Texas law allows lawsuits against insurers who breach their duties or act deceptively. We can also seek punitive damages in severe cases.

How much does it cost to hire Francis Injury?

Nothing upfront. We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we recover money for you.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit?

Generally, the statute of limitations in Texas is two years from the date of denial or breach. Don’t delay—contact us right away.
