Bad Faith Insurance Disputes

Bad faith insurance dispute occurs when an insurance company tries to go back on its obligations to policyholders. They do this by either refusing to pay a legitimate claim or failing to investigate and process a policyholder’s claim within a reasonable time.

Since this violates the fiduciary-type relationship between the policyholder and the insurance company, the insured can file a lawsuit against the insurance company. Situations where insurance companies act in bad faith include:

•  Misrepresenting the law: The insurance company intentionally interprets a policy against a claimant’s interest.
•  Unreasonable delays: Insurance companies deliberately drag conducting investigations before agreeing to pay.
• Refusing to pay: The Insurer knowingly refuses to pay or underpays a genuine policy.
• Misleading practices: Insurance companies fail to disclose an existing coverage or notify you of a claim filing deadline.
• Record an incomplete investigation: Insurance companies must conduct a prompt and thorough investigation into any claim.
•  Use of inappropriate language: An insurance representative uses threatening statements to the policyholder or third party.
