The Texas Prompt Payment Act

Insurers’ Duty to Respond to a Proper Claim

Insurance agreements are, in essence, contracts that must be respected like any other contractual agreement. An insurance provider has the duty to pay on the due date as long as you file a proper claim. The state statute does not apply unless the insurance company has received from you a claim with all of the required information. If you are having trouble filing a proper claim, you should get assistance from an attorney. The lawyers at Zinda Law Group help clients in the Austin area file claims that must be respected by insurance companies.
