Insurance Bad Faith

When an insurer does not handle a valid claim in good faith.

Insurers owe duties of good faith in how they handle claims. When they unreasonably delay, underpay, or wrongfully deny, the law may provide a remedy beyond the policy itself.

What this covers

Unreasonable denial of a valid claim.
Unreasonable delay in investigating, evaluating, or paying a claim.
Underpayment or lowball offers not supported by a fair evaluation of the loss.
Failure to handle a claim with the care the law requires of an insurer.

What to expect

A bad-faith claim is different from the underlying coverage dispute: it looks at how the insurer behaved in handling the claim, not just whether the loss was covered.

We evaluate the insurer's conduct, the applicable statutory and common-law standards, and whether the facts support pursuing a remedy beyond the amount owed under the policy.
