Bad Faith Claims

When an insurance company sells you or a family member and insurance policy, they have duties imposed by law to deal with you fairly and in good faith.   Claims based a violation of that duty are commonly known as Bad Faith Claims.   There are many different ways that an Insurance Company might engage in Bad Faith giving rise to a claim.   Generally, a Bad Faith Claim may arise when the insurance company:

• interprets its policy in a way that hurts you and is unreasonable
• not properly investigating a claim
• withholding some benefits to which you are entitled
• not promptly paying or processing your claim
• denying a claim for a reason that is improper
• refusing to settle a claim that has merit
