How Can an Insurance Company Act in Bad Faith?
There are many ways an insurance provider can fall short of its duty to provide service in good faith. Some of these ways include:
- Failure to quickly process a legitimate claim for insurance benefits after an incident
- Claiming benefits are not covered by the policy, despite the policy stating they are
- Low balling, or submitting an offer for compensation that is unreasonably low and cannot adequately meet the claimant’s needs
- Losing, claiming to have lost, or claiming to have never received pertinent information regarding the claim that the claimant has a record of sending to the company
- Paying only partial benefits when the claimant is entitled to receive full benefits for their claim
- Demanding that an insured party provide the company with unreasonable documentation in order to receive benefits
- Failure to conduct a thorough investigation of a claim before offering a settlement package
- Hiring experts to side with the company rather than working with objective medical and other experts to determine an appropriate settlement amount
- Failing to live up to its promises and representation in its marketing
- Failing to follow the laws of how to file and handle insurance claims in the claimant's state
