A bad faith insurance claim is a tort claim that an insured person may file if their insurance company has acted in bad faith. Insurance companies owe a duty of good faith and fair dealing towards the insured. If an insurance company violates this duty by unreasonably withholding the benefits of its policy from the insured, the insurance company has acted in bad faith.  If a plaintiff files a bad faith insurance claim, they may be able to collect a larger amount then the original face value of the policy, if proven that the insurance company failed to honor its contract.

If your insurance company has acted in bad faith you may be eligible for large awards of punitive damages. The bad faith insurance claims attorneys at Lorenzana Law Firm are here to help you in a bad faith claim and fully compensate you for your troubles.

A bad faith insurance claim can be filed for many reasons. Here are a couple examples of an insurance company acting in bad faith:

  • Failure of insurer to acknowledge and reply promptly to investigate a claim
  • making payments for claims without accompanying statement indicating the coverage for which payments are being made
  • refusing to settle a case
  • requesting over burdensome documentation demands not required by the policy
  • using illegal and fraudulent investigative methods and procedures
  • failure to reimburse you entirely for your loss

If you or someone you know has been denied a legitimate insurance claim, contact the bad faith insurance claim attorneys at Lorenzana Law Firm P.C. Call us today at 512-338-0529 to schedule a consultation.
