Shernoff Bidart Echeverria LLP are bad faith insurance and personal injury lawyers who lead the nation in protecting policyholders from insurance company abuse. The firm has been protecting the rights of personal and business insurance policyholders for over 40 years after having set the legal precedent requiring insurance companies to act in good faith.
Our attorneys also represent people involved in personal injury and catastrophic accident cases. If you were injured in an accident, due to a defective product, or if a loved one suffered a wrongful death due to the negligence or recklessness of others, we can help you recover the financial compensation you deserve. Most recently we have been litigating a case against AAA for a rescinded life insurance policy and a class action against Hartford.
William Shernoff: Mr. Shernoff has made a career of representing insurance consumers in their cases against insurance companies. In 1979, he persuaded the California Supreme Court to establish new case law that permits plaintiffs to sue insurance companies for bad faith seeking both compensatory and punitive damages when they unreasonably handle a policyholder’s claim (Egan v. Mutual of Omaha).

Aetna). It was the largest jury verdict ever rendered against an HMO. Recently, he was victorious on a jury trial on behalf of a young woman who lost her leg due to Kaiser Permanente’s negligent care. The jury awarded the woman $28.2 million.
