Insurance Bad Faith Claims

Insurance bad faith occurs when an insurance company fails to honor its obligations to policyholders, either by denying a valid claim, delaying payment or settlement of a claim, or otherwise acting in a manner that is not in the best interests of the policyholder. When this happens, the policyholder may be able to file a bad faith insurance claim against the insurer.

 

Bad faith claims can arise in a variety of situations, including:

  • Denial of coverage for a valid claim
  • Delayed payment or settlement of a claim
  • Failure to properly investigate a claim
  • Misrepresentation or fraud in the handling of a claim
  • Failure to defend a policyholder in a lawsuit
  • Breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing

 

If you believe you have a bad faith claim against your insurance company, there are several steps you can take. First, review your insurance policy and the denial letter or other correspondence from your insurer to determine if you have a valid claim. Next, gather any evidence you have to support your claim, such as medical bills or repair estimates. Finally, consider consulting with an experienced attorney who can advise you on your legal rights and help you navigate the claims process.

 

It's worth noting that bad faith claims can be complex and difficult to prove, and insurance companies often have powerful legal teams to defend against such claims. However, if you have been the victim of bad faith by your insurance company, it's important to stand up for your rights and seek the compensation you deserve.

 

In conclusion, insurance bad faith claims can arise in a variety of situations, and policyholders who believe they have been the victim of bad faith should take appropriate steps to protect their legal rights. Consulting with an experienced attorney can be particularly helpful in navigating this process and ensuring that you receive the compensation you are entitled to.

Michael, Jen, and Bernie were the best team I could have asked for. They were always proactive when it came to the updates of the case. Even after we reached a settlement, the team continued to look for more ways to maximize my benefit. Jen had a long conversation with me listening to me vent about the hassles of healing and she did it with empathy and compassion. This firm truly cares about their clients beyond the dotted line. 10/10 would recommend.

Twice the Tully's have helped in the result of car accidents. They are extremely personable and will do what's in the best interest of any of their clients or point you in the right direction. Very trustworthy, fair and honest. I would refer them 110% to anyone in need.

We were totally impressed with Tully & Tully. They were recommended to us while my husband was recovering from an auto accident. They don't seem to fit that negative attorney stereotype at all! They are personable and 'hands-on'. Throughout the process Bernard Tully has maintained contact with us, explaining what was happening and advising of any issues in a timely manner. I would also recommend their services to anyone who needs assistance and support during such unfortunate circumstances.

Called Edgar Snyder and they told me my case was a waste of their time. Almost gave up but not only did the Tully’s take my case but got me way more than I ever thought I would! Could not recommend enough!
