Denied and Dismissed: Navigating the Complexities of an Insurance Bad Faith Claim

Posted by Shahin Westberg | May 12, 2023 | 0 Comments

In Texas, an insurance company has a duty to act in good faith and deal fairly with its policyholders. If you believe that your insurance company has acted in bad faith, you may have a claim against them.

Some signs that you may have a claim for bad faith against an insurance company in Texas include:

  1. Unreasonable denial of coverage: If your insurance company denies your claim without a valid reason or fails to investigate your claim properly, they may be acting in bad faith.

  2. Delay in payment: If your insurance company delays payment of your claim without a valid reason, they may be acting in bad faith.

  3. Undervaluation of claim: If your insurance company undervalues your claim or offers you a settlement that is substantially less than the value of your claim, they may be acting in bad faith.

  4. Failure to defend: If your insurance company fails to defend you in a lawsuit or fails to provide you with a proper legal defense, they may be acting in bad faith.

  5. Failure to communicate: If your insurance company fails to communicate with you or keeps you in the dark about the status of your claim, they may be acting in bad faith.

Dealing with an insurance company can be a challenging and frustrating experience, especially if you believe they have acted unfairly. If you feel like your insurance company has failed to live up to this standard, you may have a claim for bad faith.

 Additionally, if your insurance company has failed to defend you or communicate with you, they may be acting in bad faith.
