What Is My Bad Faith Insurance Case Worth in Missouri?

The value of your bad faith insurance case in Missouri depends on factors such as the extent of your insurer’s misconduct, the financial and emotional harm caused, and the underlying claim’s value.

Key considerations include:

Compensatory Damages: These cover losses from the denied or underpaid claim, including medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses tied to the original injury.
Emotional Distress: Bad faith practices, like delaying payments during a stressful time, can cause significant emotional harm, which may be compensable.
Punitive Damages: In cases of egregious misconduct, Missouri courts may award punitive damages to punish the insurer and deter future bad faith actions.
Attorney’s Fees: Missouri law may allow recovery of legal fees incurred while fighting the insurer’s bad faith practices.

We thoroughly evaluate your case to ensure all damages are pursued. Contact us for a free review to discuss your claim’s potential value.

Can I Recover Compensation If I’m Being Blamed for a Bad Faith Insurance Issue in Missouri?

Missouri follows a pure comparative negligence rule in personal injury cases. This rule may apply if the underlying claim involves an accident where you’re partially at fault. Even if you bear some responsibility, you can still pursue a bad faith claim against an insurer for unfair practices, like wrongful denial of your claim.

What Causes Most Bad Faith Insurance Issues in St. Louis?

Bad faith insurance practices in St. Louis often stem from:

Wrongful Claim Denials: Insurers denying valid claims without reasonable justification.
Delayed Payments: Unnecessarily prolonging the claims process, causing financial hardship.
Underpayment of Claims: Offering settlements far below the claim’s actual value.
Misrepresentation of Policy Terms: Misleading policyholders about coverage to avoid paying claims.
Failure to Investigate: Not conducting a proper investigation to justify denying or reducing a claim.

We will investigate these practices to build a strong case and hold your insurer accountable. We don’t back down against well-funded insurance companies. When you face bad faith actions from an insurer, you deserve an attorney who knows how to fight back.

How Long Do I Have to File My Bad Faith Insurance Case?

In Missouri, the statute of limitations for bad faith claims is generally five years from the time of the insurer’s misconduct. These claims are often treated as contract disputes. However, if your claim involves a tort-based bad faith claim, a different deadline may apply.

This is why it is important to act quickly. Acting with urgency can help to preserve evidence and ensure that you comply with all legal deadlines.

Kristol Heppner

After my wreck I knew I was going to need help. Being fairly new to St. Louis I started looking on Google. I found Eason Law Firm and read the reviews. I called and a short time later James Eason called me back. What you have read others say about how he cares for his clients, that is 100% the truth. He understood my injuries, and what it took to repair them. He understood when I was beyond frustrated with the whole situation.
He is upfront and honest, and supports you in your decisions. I was always informed and up to date with what was going on with my case.
I cannot recommend James and his staff enough!! I truly would leave way more than 5 stars if possible! ✨️

Mary Bradley

Mary Bradley

Eason Law was very helpful getting info needed to help me and they have been good about following up with me to let me know how my case is going.

Kelly Burks

I recently was injured in an automobile accident while being approximately 15 weeks pregnant. I am very appreciative of the help that Eason Law Firm gave me during this very nerve-wracking time. I had awful back and neck pain and Liz was exceptionally helpful during the process to get me the help needed to get my injuries addressed so that my suffering wasn't going to be in vain. If I had questions or concerns she got back to me in a timely manner. They handled everything with the at fault drivers' insurance company, which can be intimidating. I know that the firm will fight for all that I deserve. Hopefully I will not need them again, but if I do I would go back as well as refer any family or friends their way!!!

Why This Firm Exists

James Eason didn't build this firm to be the biggest. He built it to be the kind of firm an injured person actually needs. We are small enough to stay personally involved, prepared enough to walk into court, and selective enough to take cases seriously. The model most personal injury firms run on is volume: take everything, settle most of it quickly, and then move on to the next injured client. That works for the firm, but it doesn't always work for the client. The lawyers who genuinely prepare every case for trial are the ones who get the best results, because the insurance carriers know the difference. That's our model here.

Steps to Proceed

Our Proven Process

Free Consultation

We'll listen to what happened, ask the questions that matter, and tell you honestly whether we think the case is worth pursuing. If we don't, we'll say so.

Investigation

If we take the case, we get to work, investigating the police reports, medical records, and witness statements, preserving the evidence and working with experts as needed.

Demand & Negotiate

We build a documented claim and present it to the insurance carrier. Most cases settle here. If yours doesn’t, we keep going.

Litigation Preparation

If the offer isn't fair, we litigate. Because we've prepared the case for trial from the beginning, we're ready when it gets there.

Resolution

Settlement, mediation, or verdict — we pursue whichever outcome reflects what your case is actually worth.
