Whether it is storm damage, business income losses, a fire to your business, or roof & water damage, insurance companies who refuse to pay claims have become more common. This will often lead to an insurance dispute.
In Business, it is crucial for each party to protect their interests. It is for this reason that business interests sometimes conflict and create a legal issue and potential litigation. As a business owner myself, I am better able to relate to your concerns.
As a certified mediator, we handle all types of mediations. We do full day and half day mediations.
Consumers are protected from unfair and deceptive trade practices under both state and federal law. Companies or businesses that intentionally mislead consumers about the nature of their services or products are subject to fines, penalties, and liability for any harm suffered by consumers.
