When insurance companies and affiliated
financial services entities engage in fraudulent, deceptive or
unfair practices, Berger & Montague helps injured parties
recover their losses.
Berger & Montague's Insurance & Financial Products &
Services Group focuses on fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business
practices across all lines of insurance, including life insurance,
health insurance, property and casualty insurance, automobile
insurance, and disability insurance. Clients also retain us to
prosecute class actions regarding fraudulent, deceptive and unfair
business practices with respect to the financial products and
services sold by insurers and their affiliates, which include
annuities, securities and other investment vehicles.
Insurer misconduct for which Berger & Montague litigates on
behalf of individual, group and institutional policyholders, as
well as consumers across the United States, include, for
example:
- fraudulent, deceptive and unfair sales and marketing
practices;
- fraudulent, deceptive and unfair practices concerning product
suitability;
- fraudulent, deceptive and unfair fees and charges, including
hidden or undisclosed fees;
- fraudulent, deceptive and unfair practices concerning
the adjustment of claims;
- charging excessive premiums;
- engaging in erroneous product valuations;
- predatory lending;
- churning;
- coverage disputes; and
- bad faith denial and underpayment of insurance claims and
benefits.
When Berger & Montague litigates these cases on behalf of
individual, group and institutional policyholders and consumers, we
may take action on a nationwide, multi-state or single-state class
action basis. Where appropriate, we also litigate direct
claims by individual policyholders and purchasers. To investigate
and combat these fraudulent practices by insurance companies and
their affiliated financial services entities, we frequently
collaborate with industry experts.
No Fees Without Recovery
Berger & Montague insurance and financial products and
services cases are often litigated on a contingent
fee basis, so plaintiffs and the class do not pay attorneys' fees
or court costs unless there is a recovery.
