Insurance Bad Faith
Providence law firm challenging insurance companies on your behalf
Insurance companies owe their policyholders a duty to act in good faith. This means that insurance companies should carry out their obligations as specified in a policy and as reasonably expected from a legitimate provider. When this does not happen, it is called insurance bad faith and the insurance company can be forced to pay what it owes you under the policy. Insurance bad faith arises in a variety of circumstances including:
- Unfair denial benefits to a policyholder
- Failure to communicate with insured about an unpaid claim
- Delay in handling claims
- Inadequate investigation
- Refusal to defend a lawsuit
- Threats against an insured
- Refusal to make a reasonable settlement offer
- Unreasonable interpretations of an insurance policy
- Failure to provide coverages promised
- Fraud of agents and insurance companies in denials and underpayments
