Did you experinece a total loss? You may have been underpaid.
We believe that consumers have been cheated out of thousands of dollars by car insurance companies. Consumers have reported to Normand PLLC that after a total loss car wreck and submission of a claim for the full value of their vehicle, insurance companies underpaid the claims. To make matters worse, Normand PLLC has learned that some auto insurance companies breach the terms of their policies and violate various state laws by failing to include sales tax, tag or plate fees, and title fees as part of actual cash value paid to settle total loss claims.
Normand PLLC has filed class action lawsuits alleging that insurance companies deliberately breach the terms of their policies and violate various state laws by devaluing the condition of vehicles and failing to include sales tax, license plate fees, and title fees as part of actual cash value paid to settle total loss claims. These practices reduce the claim payments to consumers by hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Specifically, the lawsuits accuse auto insurance companies of underpaying consumers by failing to pay sales tax, title fees, license fees, and manipulating the data used to value the cars. Many auto insurance companies violated state laws regulating the handling of these claims and making it even tougher for insureds whose cars were destroyed. Among other things, the lawsuits allege the insurance companies employ what they call “condition adjustments” to reduce the value of comparable vehicles without itemizing or explaining the basis for the adjustment as required by state law, resulting in an average underpayment of $821 to $1,274.
Normand PLLC believes consumers deserve repayment. Insurance companies took advantage of customers by knowingly paying less than fair value for totaled vehicles. We will fight to reclaim consumer losses against insurance companies for the full accurate value of totaled vehicles.
