Insurance Bad Faith

When your insurance company fails to honor its obligations or fulfill its responsibilities as set forth in the terms of your insurance contract, you may have a case against your insurer for bad faith. Every insurance contract contains a covenant of good faith and fair dealing, whether it is literally written out or merely implied. This covenant is imposed upon all insurance companies to help ensure that they will always act with fairness and honesty when handling the claims of their customers. When an insurance company breaches that covenant, it is acting in bad faith.

Common types of insurance bad faith include:

• Denial of coverage for valid claims.
• Low settlement offers for valid claims.
• Failure to defend policyholders in lawsuits against them in breach of the insurance contract.
• Misrepresentation, policy alteration, and other deceptive practices.
• Delaying and stalling payment by placing impossible conditions on settlement agreements, having unreasonable expectations of insureds, and passing a claim through the hands of multiple adjusters.
