Give the Colorado renter’s insurance bad faith lawyers of Cannon Law a call today to see how we can help you.

What is Insurance Bad Faith?

Insurance bad faith is when the insurance company, or the insurer, fails to promptly and fairly pay out a legitimate claim made by their insured. If you have an insurance policy and pay your premium each month, then you can reasonably expect your insurance company to hold up their end of the deal and cover your damages for insured events.

Examples of Insurance Bad Faith

• Your insurance company failed to sufficiently investigate your claim
• Your insurance company denied your claim on improper grounds
• Your insurance company offered you a lowball settlement that does not reflect the actual value of your claim
• Your insurance company did not evaluate and pay your claim in a timely manner
• Your insurance company avoided communication in any form (phone calls, emails, letters, etc.)

Collect Documentation to Help Support Your Claim

If you suffer damages from a covered event, be sure to document the damage and your communication with your renter’s insurance provider. This will help you and your lawyer later on if your insurance acts in bad faith. Things you may want to document include:

• Photos of the event and damage
• Letters of notification
• Dates and times of telephone calls or conversations
• Copies of inspection reports
• Copies of police reports
• Any correspondence to or from your insurance company
