Of course, an insurance company should investigate claims and only pay for losses covered under a policy. However, when an insurance company acts unreasonably or unfairly with the intent of denying a valid claim, it has acted in Bad Faith.
Insurance companies can act in Bad Faith in many different ways, such as:
Due to the natural imbalance of power between a huge insurance company and an individual policyholder, a policyholder stands little chance of prevailing against an insurance company. Fortunately, the law provides a remedy for a policyholder to help level the playing field, which is a cause of action for Bad Faith.
It is particularly difficult for a policyholder to fight an insurance company while simultaneously dealing with the underlying loss. The attorneys at Haffner & Morgan are here to help navigate the treacherous waters of fighting an insurance company that unreasonably refuses to honor a valid claim.
