Bad Faith Insurance Claims and Denied Benefits

Once an insurance policy is purchased and paid for, it becomes a contract between you, the insured, and the insurance company; required that the insurance company must act in “good faith” toward you as the insured.  However, an insurance company is considered acting  in “bad faith” when they unreasonably withhold the payment of the policy benefits.

SOME OF THE SIGNS OF “BAD FAITH” INSURANCE CLAIMS
BY THE INSURER

• Delaying, discounting and denying payments without reasonable cause.
• Failure to acknowledge and reply promptly when notified of a claim.
• The use of illegal and fraudulent methods of investigation and procedure.

These are just some of the signs, for more information regarding the signs of “Bad Faith”, please refer to www.badfaithinsurance.org
