What Is Insurance Bad Faith?
Insurance bad faith occurs when an insurance company fails to fulfill its legal obligation to pay a policyholder’s valid claim or process it in good faith. Policyholders have a reasonable expectation that the insurance company will fairly handle claims and fulfill their contractual obligation. Insurance companies must follow specific rules when investigating and processing claims. If they do not follow these rules, they may be held accountable for insurance bad faith.
Examples of Insurance Bad Faith
Insurance bad faith can take many forms. These tactics are often used to avoid paying legitimate claims or minimize payouts. Some examples of insurance bad faith scenarios include:
- Refusing to communicate with their insured
- Unreasonably delaying claims
- Delaying investigations or processing of claims without a valid reason
- Delaying processing of claims by requiring policyholders to provide unnecessary documentation
- Failing to conduct a thorough investigation
- Paying too little based on the claim’s value
- Denying valid claims with no reasonable basis
- Citing irrelevant or non-existing policy language as purported justification of a denial
- Making settlement offers that are unreasonable or inappropriate
- Misrepresenting insurance policy terms or facts
- Presenting false evidence or legal arguments as justification for a denial
- Failing to provide any reason for a denial
These are just a few of the possible ways that insurance companies can act in bad faith. A Colorado insurance bad faith attorney can help you determine if you have been the victim of bad faith. These tactics can affect all types of policyholders, including renters. If you are a renter and believe your insurance provider acted in bad faith, learn more about your rights here.
Pursuing an Insurance Bad Faith Claim
A civil claim based on insurance bad faith must be supported by evidence that:
- The insurance company unreasonably refused or delayed payment.
- The denial or delay is made with an unreasonable basis.
- You suffered damages that are compensable through a civil claim.
- Your losses were due to the insurance company’s unreasonable conduct.
