practice is focused on:
Insurance Company Bad Faith Claims
Our firm represents people who have
been harmed by an insurance company's
bad faith failure to pay benefits it
owes, and its bad faith failure to
protect its insured.
Scenario 1. Your client has been
injured by a drunk driver. You find out
that the defendant's insurance is
limited to $100,000 and, after careful
consideration with your client, you
offer to settle for the $100,000. The
insurance company refuses. You know you
have excellent chances of winning a
higher amount if you go to trial, but
the defendant has no money. Is there
anything you can do short of litigation?
Scenario 2. Your client is the
driver. The case went to court, and the
plaintiff won a $500,000 verdict. The
insurance company only has to pay out
the $100,000. Your client can't pay,
will be broken financially, and yet
would have been in great shape had the
insurance company only acted in good
faith and settled the claim for $100,000
when it had the chance. Now what?
Call us. The insurance company has a
clear duty to its insured to act in good
faith to protect the interest of the
insured. It is a tort if the insurance
company puts its own interest ahead of
the insured's. The Law Firm of Charles
A. Gower has extensive experience
handling insurance company bad faith
claims. We know the law intimately, and
have a record of success for our
clients.
Our early intervention in insurance
bad faith cases can save the case and
result in an early - and acceptable -
settlement. Whenever a claim is in
excess of insurance policy limits, a
Holt situation arises. We know exactly
what steps to take to head off the
excessive costs in time and money of
needless litigation. Call us as soon as
a reasonable offer of settlement is
denied by the insurance company - we can
help you evaluate their action and,
whenever possible, persuade them to
settle.
After a judgment that exceeds
insurance policy limits, we can help you
evaluate the case and your options
against the insurance company. We have
an excellent track record in resolving
these bad faith insurance claim cases.
Call (706) 324-5685 for a free
consultation at any stage in
negotiations, litigation, or after
judgment. We do not charge an hourly
fee, but rather work on a contingency
basis on insurance bad faith denial
cases.
Business & Consumer Litigation
Our firm represents consumers and
businesses who have been harmed by the
bad faith or misdeeds of businesses. We
can help if you have been a victim of:
- fraud
- deceptive trade practices
- misleading advertising
- false representations
- breach of contract
- breach of fiduciary duty
- conversion
- misappropriation of funds
- racketeering (RICO)
- tortious interference with
business
We have extensive experience
negotiating and litigating in such cases
in order to protect the public from the
lack of due diligence or even
intentional misconduct of businesses. We
also can help minority shareholders who
are being pressured by the majority. We
believe that being at an economic
disadvantage should not make a person at
a legal disadvantage. There are many
laws available to protect the consumer
and the public. Call (706) 324-5685 for
a free consultation to find out your
options and your rights.
Personal Injury & Wrongful Death
Our firm represents individuals who
have been seriously injured, and the
families of those killed, by the
negligence or recklessness of another.
We have extensive experience handling
car wrecks, truck crashes, motorcycle
wrecks, and other serious injuries. We
also have experience in the area of
nursing home abuse and neglect. We have
a nurse on staff to assist in evaluating
cases where a nursing home or provider
has failed to properly care for or
protect a patient. We can help you get
compensation for your medical expenses,
lost wages, rehabilitation, other
expenses, and pain and suffering. If you
have lost a loved one, compensation can
help to secure your family's future in
the face of your loss. Call (706)
324-5685 to find out how we can help
you.
The Law Firm of Charles A. Gower
