South Carolina Insurance Disputes Attorneys

At the law firm of Richard A. Harpootlian, P.A., we represent insurance policyholders whose contracts of insurance have been breached by the insurer. Typically, in these kinds of cases an insurance company breaches its contract with a customer by improperly refusing to timely or fully pay a proper insurance claim. If an insurance company breaches a contract by intentionally misleading or deceiving another party or failing to perform as required, they can be found to be acting in bad faith.

Insurance Litigation
Our firm has expertise in litigating insurance disputes for failure to properly pay claims and in complex coverage disputes that frequently arise in cases involving claims for personal injury and death, property damage, business disputes, and many other types of cases. We have successfully challenged the wrongful practices of some of our nation’s largest insurance companies.

For example, in Ward v. Dixie National Life Insurance Company, et al., Mr. Harpootlian successfully argued and won a rare summary judgment on damages for $7.9 million against two insurance companies who had failed to properly pay claims on supplemental cancer insurance policies.

And, in the case of Croft v. Old Republic Ins. Co., Mr. Harpootlian successfully argued and won a ground-breaking decision where he convinced the Supreme Court of South Carolina to interpret the law in a manner that allowed an additional one million dollars of coverage for his client.
