Signs of Bad Faith Insurance

  • June 26, 2013

Insurance companies are supposed to act in good faith which means acting fairly to the people insured by their company. Unfortunately, many companies do not always treat their customers in the fair and honest manner that they should. There is also not much room for customers to negotiate the insurance offers. The law protects individuals against this disparate bargaining power that the insurance company has. If insurance companies do not act fairly they may receive penalties for their actions. If you are receiving unfair and dishonest treatment from your insurance company contact a Texas insurance bad faith attorney from Brasher Law Firm, PLLC. We only stand up for customers, never insurance companies and we may be able to help you. Some signs that you are experiencing bad faith include an insurance company that:

  1. Fails to promptly process a claim for benefits
  2. Demands unreasonable forms when processing a claim for benefits
  3. Claims to lose or not obtain information necessary to a claim
  4. Claims that the customer was late on providing information for a claim
  5. Refuses to thoroughly investigate a claim
  6. Pays only part of the benefits that a person is owed through their insurance policy
  7. Low-balls the customer, meaning submission of an unreasonably low offer
  8. Fails to follow laws in the state regulating the process of filing a claim
  9. Gives excuses to deny or delay a claim
  10. Fails to perform in the way that they represented when they sold the policy
