Unpaid Overtime
Unpaid Overtime entails many different kinds of litigation, but it is most often when one business files a lawsuit against another business. This is most often the case in property disputes or banking disputes. However, it can also take place in insurance disputes as well.
- Insurance Faith
In 1989 the Texas Legislature overhauled the state’s workers’ compensation system. In the process, the rules were rewritten to dramatically favor insurance companies in disputes involving injured workers. Since these changes, insurance carriers have taken advantage of their favored position in the law to continually harass, intimidate and delay payment to workers in their workers compensation claims. In addition, a developing area of workers compensation bad faith involves the use of outside doctors to conduct medical examinations of claimants for the express purpose of denying benefits to injured workers.
If you have experienced a workers compensation carrier denying your claim before it had a chance to hear your side of the story or if the insurance company sent you to one of their doctors and the doctor’s report was extremely one sided in favor of the insurance carrier, you may have a claim for bad faith.
