Why You Need a Denver Bad Faith Insurance Attorney

When an insurance company fails to pay a valid claim or fails to defend you against a claim, it can be difficult to know where to turn. You may have been informed that your specific claim was not covered by your policy. Often times, you will be told it is outlined somewhere in the fine print. When an insurance company fails to pay a legitimate claim, it leads to heavy financial consequences.

In these cases, it is imperative that you get legal representation from an experienced Denver insurance bad faith lawyer. At The Fang Law Firm, our team of litigators will review the terms of your policy limits to discover if your insurance company is acting in bad faith, and if so, hold them accountable.

Types of Insurance Bad Faith

Insurance bad faith cases can be based on various types of actions by an insurance company. Actions may include, but are not limited to:

Unwarranted Denial of Insurance Coverage

When your insurance company informs you that for your specific type of claim you were not covered, or denies paying a valid claim, the insurance company may be acting in bad faith and a legal case can be brought against that company.

Failure to Investigate Claims

An insurance company is required to investigate a claim. Failing to do so in a timely manner, for any reason, may be an act of insurance bad faith. This could include failing to investigate a claim filed by another against your insurance policy.

Failure to Cooperate Claims

An insurance company may allege that an insured person “failed to cooperate”. An insured individual is required to cooperate with the insurance company, but they may use this excuse unfairly, alleging falsely that you were uncooperative in some way. When this reason for failing to pay a claim is used in a manner simply to avoid paying claims, the insurance company must be held accountable.

Failure to Evaluate Claims

Your insurance company is required to fully evaluate your claim. Subsequently, they must pay you in full under the written terms of your policy. When you file a claim, you expect to be paid under the terms of the legal contract. When your claim is not evaluated by your insurance company, leading to a denial or being paid far less than your contract states, you have a bad faith case – a failure the company’s duty to act in good faith with its policyholders.

Wrongful Claim Denial

When an insurance company unfairly denies a claim, failing to deliver under the terms of a life insurance policy, it may be a case of insurance bad faith. These cases vary widely, but in general terms, if you were told that you were not covered when you believed you were, an insurance bad faith claim may be possible.

Failure to Settle Claims

When an insurance company fails to settle a suit against you, it can constitute bad faith. In some cases, an insurance company does not settle a claim under the limits of your policy. Insurance companies are required to act in the interests of the insured person when engaged in settlement negotiations with a claimant.

Failure to Defend Claims

In some cases, an insurance company fails to defend a policyholder. When a third party files a claim, the insurance company is required to defend against the claim. If it fails to do so, it may be insurance bad faith.

Negligent Defense Claims

If the defense against a claim was poorly performed by the lawyers enlisted by your insurance company, you may have an insurance bad faith claim.

  • Full documentation from the insurance company explaining why a claim was denied, with documentation of interactions with your insurance company about the claim, including logs of conversations, with whom, along with date and time.
