Bad Faith Claims

Bad Faith Claims Law

Bad faith claims are insurance claims that are unjustly denied by the insurance company. In any insurance policy, there is a contract between the insured and the insurer that requires that the insurer acts in "good faith" with you. When an insurer does not uphold this policy, it is considered to be "bad faith".

Bad Faith Claims Legal Issues:

Bad faith claims occur during auto accidents, earthquake claims, life insurance claims, homeowner claims, fire damage or disability insurance claims. An insurer acts in bad faith when they:

• Fail to investigate a claim thoroughly and on time
• Delay paying benefits
• Offer a value that is not fair for the losses experienced
• Wrongly interpret the insurance policy
• Refuse to reimburse the insured
