New Law Impacts Tennessee Bad Faith Insurance Actions
We have handled many cases over the years where insurance companies have wrongfully denied insurance claims. Common cases include denials of life insurance benefits, home fires, sink hole damage and disability benefits. Jon Street of our office leads the litigation team on these case and he has gained a reputation as a leader in this field in Tennessee.
Unfortunately, the current legislature is attempting to make it more difficult to take your insurance company to Court if they deny your claim. Jim Higgins was recently interviewed regarding these changes. You can watch the interview below:
Former insurance salesman George Gordon says only 5% of insurance comapny revenue is paid in claims.
Presidential candidate Ralph Nader says insurance executives pay themselves $200,000 salary PER WEEK PER PERSON. Not counting Warren Buffet, owner of GEICO Govt Employees Insurance Co, who paid himself $35-BILLION personal salary in ONE year, TAX FREE. The Dragonater was Ralph Nader's chauffeur in Knoxville and San Francisco.
There is no law requiring purchase of private insurance contract, according to dozens of states' attorney generals and the US Constitution. The only time car insurance is "required" under TN Code is when a driver CAUSES a crash, AND the crash damages ANOTHER person, AND refuses to pay for damages WHEN THEY ARE RICH ENOUGH TO AFFORD IT, AND the driver fails to get a signed letter from the other driver excusing them for damages. Constitutional Equal Protection doctrine means that NOBODY is required to buy a private insurance contract under ANY circumstances.
