Snowmass Village Insurance Litigation Services
You have insurance so that you will be protected in case of an emergency or accident. Insurance companies have a right to protect their bottom line, but their ultimate duty, no matter what, is to you, their insured. Nothing should stop you from getting the full extent of the benefits you have paid premiums for and are entitled to receive, and you should never be disregarded in any way.
At the Snowmass Village law offices of Tester & Associates, P.C., we are experienced trial lawyers available to pursue your claim aggressively if you suspect bad faith on the part of an insurance company.

Tester & Associates, P.C. ● 970-923-0215 ● Snowmass Village, Colorado
In insurance litigation, there is no substitute for experience. Attorney Cynthia C. Tester is a former long-term insurance defense attorney who handled insurance litigation for major law firms in Denver before founding Tester & Associates, P.C. Now she handles cases for people and companies that have insurance but are not being taken care of, or worse, are being denied coverage.
This background gives her unusual insight into how insurance companies decide whether to pay claims. She has a detailed understanding of insurance policies, internal risk management and payout policies, reinsurance and subrogation, lawful contract terms, and state and federal law. She knows how to extract all pertinent information from the insurance bureaucracy.
Types of Insurance Bad Faith
When an insurance provider refuses to pay out the full amount of benefits to which you believe you are entitled, it is possible that they are acting in bad faith. If they are and we can prove it, punitive damages, attorneys fees and costs are available in addition to—and far in excess of—the amount of your legitimate claim.
We provide professional insurance litigation services for business, municipal, and individual clients in first-party or third-party claims involving any type of policy, such as:
- Personal injury/liability insurance
- Homeowner's insurance or business property insurance
- Auto insurance, including uninsured or underinsured motorist claims
- Temporary or permanent disability insurance
Could Insurance Claim Litigation Protect Your Rights?
From negotiation to mediation to litigation, we will pursue all avenues to seek proper payments on your claim. If we suspect an insurance company has denied or delayed payment on your claim in bad faith, we will relentlessly seek the proof and pursue a claim for punitive damages.
While insurance companies argue over who is responsible for your claim, we will help you take the steps to ensure your bills get paid. You should never be caught in the middle.
Bashor Agreements
When an insurance company refuses all payment on a claim that actually “belongs” to another person, you may be able file a Bashor agreement with the first-party claimant, which would allow us to file suit together against the responsible insurance company.
