BAD FAITH INSURANCE CLAIMS & LITIGATION

BAD FAITH INSURANCE CLAIMS & LITIGATION

When your insurance company denies, disputes, or short pays your business insurance claim, you may have a claim against the insurance company for doing so in bad faith. 

For the business insurance policy holder, bad faith is a very powerful tool, but it is an extraordinarily complex area of the law.

Bad faith is a creature of state law. So before a qualified attorney can even determine  whether the possibility of bad faith conduct by the insurance company occurred, the attorney must first determine what state law applies to the insurance claim/dispute, and whether that state has any bad faith law. Many  states simply do not have any bad faith law, and for those that do, the remedies available to the policyholder, and the methodology to go about proving the claim, vary dramatically.

Nonetheless, it is always a worthy task for a policyholder and their attorney to evaluate the possibility of a bad faith clam when the insurance company is not doing the right thing.
