Bad Faith Insurance Issues
Definition:
Bad faith insurance issues come up when an insurance claim
that an insured makes is wrongfully denied by the insurance company. Since
an insurance policy is a contract between the insured and the insurance carrier,
it requires that the insurance carrier act in "good faith". When an insurance
carrier unreasonably denies benefits of the insurance policy from the insured,
it is known as being in "bad faith".
Consequences of Bad Faith Insurance:
Insurance companies frequently deny claims. Sometimes when the insurance company acknowledges that a claim or lawsuit is covered by the policy, they underpay the claim. Courts try to determine whether or not an insurer is acting in bad faith by showing if their conduct is reasonable. Insurance companies have a duty to be as fair as they can be to the insured. All contracts have promises that they will not act in bad faith towards their clients.What a Lawyer can do for you:
