Litigation Against Insurance Companies - Defending Your Policyholder Rights
Insurance companies often portray themselves as friendly and supportive, but the reality is that they thrive by minimizing or denying claims. This can be particularly distressing because individuals rely on their insurance benefits during times of need, such as after a medical condition, the loss of a loved one, accidents, or natural disasters. In some cases, the only way to seek justice is by asserting your rights through legal action.
For decades, the DL Law Group has been champions for the rights of policyholders in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our legal team is highly regarded by the community, courts, and clients as experts in all aspects of insurance law. Whether your claim has been unreasonably denied, improperly delayed, mishandled, or inadequately investigated, we are here to represent you in the courtroom against some of the most formidable insurance companies.
San Francisco Attorneys Fighting Bad Faith Insurance Companies

We not only understand the inner workings of insurance companies but have also secured millions of dollars in legal victories against some of the nation's largest and most litigious insurers, including:
Notable Cases
Our extensive experience in litigating against insurance companies speaks for itself. One of our trial lawyers secured a unanimous verdict in the federal court in the case of McGregor v. Paul Revere (UnumProvident), on behalf of an injured court reporter. In the groundbreaking case of Hangarter v. Provident (UnumProvident), which has become one of the most frequently referenced disability insurance cases, DL Law Group attorneys obtained a $5 million punitive damages award against an insurer that the California Insurance Commissioner referred to as an "outlaw company." The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld both of these verdicts.
