Trust the Team at Denver Trial Lawyers ®; Call Now!
As a business owner, delays can be costly. When your time is so valuable, costly delays after your business experiences a catastrophic loss will only set you back further.
When you depend on an insurance policy to provide you with the compensation to cover your losses, it’s easy to become frustrated when it seems like an insurance company won’t follow up on their end of the bargain.
But what you may not realize is that insurance providers are bound by law to act in good faith and that neglecting this responsibility could have consequences.
At Denver Trial Lawyers ®, we’re an experienced team of attorneys who understand what you’re going through when your insurance acts in bad faith. We understand what’s at risk and how much you depend on getting a swift and proper settlement to your claim when you’ve suffered a tremendous loss.
We’re a tested and proven team that has earned a reputation for success and outstanding client service over more than 100 jury trials. We’re committed to your success, and we may be able to help you when you need an ally to fight back against an insurer that’s acting unethically.

Am I a Victim of Bad Faith Insurance?
Insurance companies have a legal duty to act in “good faith,” which essentially means handling your claim promptly and paying out the amount they have said they will cover you for.
However, insurance companies are businesses like yours, and that means the more money they pay out the tighter their margins become. Thus, many companies often use underhanded tactics to try and either force claimants to take reduced settlements or even to completely absolve themselves of their financial responsibility.
You might be the victim of bad faith insurance if you experience any of the following:
- Excessive or unnecessary paperwork
- Lowball settlement offers
- Slow or non-existent responses to requests for information
- Failure to pay agreed-upon settlements
Each of these is a tactic which companies use to try and discourage claimants and policyholders from continuing to pursue their case and thus be willing to accept a significantly reduced settlement amount.
In many cases, companies simply out-wait their claimants, delaying the payout for as long as possible until the claimant is willing to accept a fraction of how much their case is actually worth.

"David Woodruff and his team worked long and hard for my settlement."They were able to get more than I expected. I would highly recommend them.- Heather N.

"Mr. Woodruff never gave up."My case ended up getting so messed up and complicated because of my former attorneys that no firm would even consider taking my case to try and salvage it. But, thanks to Mr. Woodruff for never giving up and helping us, even though his plate was so full of other clients. He never pushed us off to the side nor quit helping us. Now, this part is very important! Mr. Woodruff was never hired as my attorney, but yet, he insisted on making sure that my family and I were always taken care of and never forgotten about! Plus, he never asked us for one cent for all the time and work he had put into my case! Mr. Woodruff put more time into my case than the attorneys that I hired! In my opinion, Mr. Woodruff could have easily sent me a bill somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 and up! Mr. Woodruff and his firm are the only attorneys that I know who truly care about the people and not just about making money! Eventually, Mr. Woodruff and Mr. Sloane helped my family recover enough money to help us be able to start our lives over. So, if you're looking for a firm of attorneys that are ethical, actually care about you, and will do everything within their power to get you what you deserve, then you must contact Denver Trial Lawyers! My family cannot stress enough just how great this firm is! They truly saved our lives, so do yourself a huge favor and call Denver Trial Lawyers so they can save yours! Thank you, Mr. Woodruff and Mr. Sloane, from the bottom of our hearts, you will never be forgotten for all you have done for us! You are truly my family's angels!- Jon F.

Dan knows what he's doing and won our case for us. Having the assurance of someone strong handling things when you're broken and trying to heal was such a RELIEF. Thanks to Dan Sloane and John McDonnell for helping us through this ordeal and getting justice and compensation for my mom.- Julie D.
