Unfair Insurance Practices
Have you been treated unfairly by an insurance company? If so, you may have what is known as a "Bad Faith" case.
When you make a claim on an insurance policy, the insurance company must act in "good faith" while processing the claim. It is illegal for an insurance company to act in bad faith while handling a claim.
The Bad Faith practices of an insurance company may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Misrepresenting important facts or insurance policy provisions relating to coverage(s) at issue.
- Not attempting in good faith to accomplish prompt, fair and equitable settlements of claims in which liability has become reasonably clear.
- Failing to adopt and implement reasonable standards for the prompt investigation of claims arising under insurance polices.
- Refusing to pay claims without conducting a reasonable investigation based upon all available information.
- Failing to acknowledge and act reasonably promptly upon communications with respect to claims arising under insurance policies.
