An insurance bad faith claim arises when the insurer denies or delays your claim despite a reasonable opportunity presented to them to settle within the policy limits. When this happens, the insurer violates its duty of good faith and fair dealing that is a legally required and enforceable element of every insurance policy. Generally speaking, if the insurer violates this duty, you can sue for contract damages and bad faith (tort) damages – including attorneys fees. And where an insurance company acts in bad faith and the misconduct is egregious, punitive damages are also available. Our attorneys have experience prosecuting and winning insurance bad faith claims, and our knowledge and know-how gives us valuable insight on the tricks insurance companies use to fight claims, and how to hold insurance companies accountable.
