Imagine being injured, suffering from an illness, or having your home or property damaged and counting on receiving insurance benefits you paid premiums for under your own automobile, health insurance, or homeowners’ insurance policy, but you experience delay after delay in getting paid. You or a loved one have already been hurt or had your home or property damaged, and now you have to deal with the frustration of fighting with the insurance company.
This could be a case of Unreasonable Delay in Payment of Coverage/Benefits. Lenahan & Dempsey can help you as we have helped those all across Northeastern/Central Pennsylvania and the Pocono Mountains Region since 1949.
Delay in Payment Could Be Insurance Bad Faith
An unreasonable delay in payment could fall under the umbrella of Insurance Bad Faith law. Attorney Timothy Lenahan, Managing Partner at Lenahan & Dempsey, along with Attorney Christine S. Lezinski, were the trial and appellate legal counsel in the landmark case of Hollock v Erie. This case, which we won in front of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, helped establish Bad Faith laws in Pennsylvania.
Thanks to Attorney Lenahan’s and Attorney Lezinski’s efforts and legal skills, this groundbreaking case established the right of individuals to be treated fairly by their insurance companies and, when they fail to do so, insurance companies can be held liable for often severe penalties known as “punitive damages,” which can be far in excess of the value of the original insurance claim.
Attorney Timothy Lenahan was named by Best Lawyers In America as the Insurance Lawyer of the year for 2024-2025 for his work protecting the rights of the injured against giant insurance companies for the region of Northeastern/Central Pennsylvania and the Pocono Mountains. He is a past Best Lawyers in America Personal Injury Lawyer of the Year for that region.
Eight of our lawyers have been named both to Best Lawyers in America as well as Pennsylvania Super Lawyers. Three, John R. Lenahan, Jr. (our Firm President), Timothy Lenahan and Matthew Dempsey are named to The Top 100 Lawyers in Pennsylvania (out of over 48,000 lawyers in Pennsylvania).
Our success in winning Hundreds and Hundreds of Millions for our clients has also led to Judges and our peers voting us for inclusion in The Best Law Firms in America, and we are listed as a Tier 1 law firm (the highest rating).
With this background and the entire Lenahan & Dempsey legal team, we have the credentials, skill and resources needed to take on some of the largest insurance companies in the nation.
