Local Legal for Insurance Coverage Issues and Insurance Bad Faith
- Insurance company refusing to fix your roof after a hailstorm?
- Auto claims stuck in limbo without action or answers?
- Facing thousands of dollars in medical bills the insurance company should have paid?
- Someone sued you and now your insurance company won't help?
You deserve better.
Insurance is meant to provide protection when something goes wrong. But when a claim is delayed, denied, or mishandled, policyholders are often left dealing with uncertainty instead of support.
When that happens, you deserve a top-notch, local legal-one that understands insurance obligations, deadlines, and leverage, and works deliberately toward resolution.
Fire claims, roofing claims, auto claims, liability insurance-no matter what type of policy you have, you deserve to have your claim handled honestly, fairly, and promptly. When an insurance company fails to meet these basic requirements, it may be violating the law. In New Mexico, the law says insurance companies cannot put their own interest ahead of their customers' rights and must provide the coverage and claims handling they promised.
505 Legal represents individuals, families, and policyholders across New Mexico in insurance claims, lawsuits , and disputes. We are a modern hometown law firm, rooted in New Mexico and built to resolve disputes through a coordinated legal team-not drawn-out frustration.

When an Insurance Issue Becomes a Legal Dispute
Many people expect insurance claims to be straightforward. Problems arise when insurers:
- Lowball offers
- Unreasonable delay
- Inadequate investigation
- Deny valid claims without clear justification
- Undervalue losses or damages
- Request unnecessary documentation repeatedly
- Fail to communicate clearly or consistently
- Change position without reason
- Don't honor their promises to you-the policyholder
At that point, waiting us is no longer an option.
Abusive insurance practices may occur due to understaffing, lack of training, unfamiliarity with New Mexico law, or just plain greed. Whatever the reasons, insurance companies who act in bad faith deserve to be held accountable.
You need legal representation - the right representation.
Insurance disputes require an understanding of policy language, statutory obligation, and the steps necessary to enforce coverage. Early action helps preserve rights and prevent further delay.
Our role is to help you understand whether your insurance is meeting its obligations and how to move the claim toward resolution.

As a policyholder, you have certain rights when it comes to first-party coverage. Many of these are contained in the New Mexico insurance code. Others come from case law or are promulgated by the New Mexico Superintendent of Insurance.
For example, insurance companies are prohibited from misrepresenting pertinent facts and policy provisions. Insurance companies must acknowledge and act on communications from policyholders with reasonable promptness. They must work in good faith to reach prompt, fair and equitable settlements when liability is clear. And they must explain the basis for any denial of coverage.
These rules are designed to protect policyholders and apply to various types of insurance, such as automobile insurance including uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, life insurance, disability insurance, health insurance, and property insurance.
