Texas Insurance Bad Faith Claims Lawyer | The Hart Law Firm

Has Your Insurance Company Denied or Delayed Your Claim? We Hold Them Accountable


Insurance companies are supposed to provide financial protection in times of need. When you pay your premiums, you expect your insurer to handle claims fairly. Unfortunately, many insurance companies prioritize profits over policyholders, denying or delaying valid claims without justification. This is known as insurance bad faith—and it is illegal.


At The Hart Law Firm, we fight back against unfair insurance practices. With over 25 years of experience, we take on powerful insurance companies and force them to honor their obligations. If your claim has been unfairly denied, delayed, or underpaid, we can help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
