Clausen Miller's coverage attorneys are divided into two groups: those who provide coverage advice and defend first-party property insurance carriers, and those who provide coverage advice and defend third-party liability insurers.
Insurance companies are regulated by the California Department of Insurance. Individuals who have had their claims denied in bad faith can file a consumer complaint with the department. An attorney can help walk you through the process and help to ensure you receive the recovery you deserve after an accident.
Car Insurance Policies and the "Duty to Defend" Most liability car insurance policies contain language stating that the insurer will provide a lawyer for the policyholder if they get into a car accident and they're sued for injuries and other losses ("damages") resulting from the crash.
Present your case clearly and concisely. Avoid sharing too much personal information or details that are not directly relevant to the claim. Do Not Accept the First Offer: Adjusters often start with a low offer. Politely decline and state that the offer doesn't adequately cover your losses.
You should try to contact the supervisor of the adjuster (if there is one). If not, you can report the company to your state's insurance commission. You may also want to consult with a personal injury lawyer (if you were injured).

When Does an Insurer Have a Duty to Defend? In California, the insurance company's duty to defend and indemnify the insured party kicks in so long as the claim is even “potentially” covered.
You start a lawsuit by filing a complaint. In some circumstances, you file a petition or a motion. The court has several complaint forms that you may use in drafting your complaint. The forms are available online and at the Pro Se Intake Unit.
