Bad Faith Insurance Claims
in Denver, Colorado
Insurance policies are purchased to provide protection against a major financial loss caused by illness, serious injury or property damage. The contract you sign with your insurance company details the specifics of your policy’s coverage.
It is expected that insurance companies will hold up their end of the contract, especially when you have diligently paid all of your premiums for this coverage. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
What are Bad Faith Insurance Practices?
Insurance companies are legally required to act within your best interests when processing your claim. They must deal honestly and fairly with you, and uphold all terms and agreements of your coverage. When they fail to do so, they are guilty of bad faith practices.
Insurance companies are guilty of bad faith practices if they:
- Improperly deny payment on claims
- Underpay claims
- Undervalue claims
- Unreasonably deny coverage
- Unfairly refuse to settle and/or reimburse claims
- Withhold benefits without cause
- Delay payment of claims for an unreasonable length of time
- Fail to investigate a claim in a proper and reasonable manner
- Use unreasonable interpretations in translating the language of your policy
- Unjustly cancel your insurance policy
What Kind of Insurance Policies are Included under Bad Faith Laws?
Insurance companies will be held liable for bad faith practices for just about any policy they issue. These may include:
- Homeowner’s Insurance
- Automobile Insurance
- Life Insurance
- Health Insurance
- Workers’ Compensation
- Disability Insurance
- Commercial Property Insurance
- Commercial General Liability Insurance
- Business Owners’ Insurance
