People purchase insurance policies to protect themselves and their families from catastrophe. So if difficult times are to arise, they expect that their insurance companies will be there for them. Unfortunately this is not always the case, and each year millions of Americans receive unfair treatment from their insurance companies, making them victims of insurance bad faith practices.

Insurance bad faith occurs when an insurance company has wrongfully and unreasonably failed to fulfill its duties toward the policyholder, or has denied or underpaid a valid claim. By law, every insurance company has a duty to act in good faith and fair dealing, so when an insurance company intentionally breaches this promise, the policyholder may sue.

Instances of insurance bad faith may include:

• Failure to pay a claim for a covered loss
• Underpaying a claim for a covered loss
• Unreasonably delaying payment on a claim
• Denial of disability coverage
• Negligent or fraudulent practices that impact the policyholder’s ability to collect
• Inadequate investigation
