What is bad faith insurance?
Insurance bad faith refers to an instance in which an insurance provider does not pay an insured client for a legitimate claim. The insurance company has a contract with the insured, and hence has a legal obligation to pay the claimant as stipulated in the contract. Failure to do so is a violation of insurance law. Our New York personal injury attorneys have helped numerous clients with such matters over the years.
Examples of Bad Faith Insurance
One example of bad faith is to deny a claim that is legitimate or failing to investigate a legitimate insurance claim. Another example of bad faith has to do with payment. Sometimes insurance providers will act in bad faith by delaying payment of the claim or paying only part of the amount owed. Finally, insurance companies can also act in bad faith by consciously reinterpreting the language of an agreement to work in their favor. This could be done to deny a claim or reduce the payment to the claimant.
