Insurance companies do not always have your best interest in mind. Never forget that an insurance provider is a private company. That means it has its own bottom line to protect, often at the expense of its insurance policyholders. If your insurance company terminated your coverage or provided only a partial payment amount, then you may have fallen victim to insurance in bad faith. If an insurance company has denied your claim without a good reason for doing so, the nationally acclaimed Florida insurance attorneys of Colson Hicks Eidson will fight for your right to receive the insurance benefits you deserve.

We are also currently engaged in a number of similar bad faith lawsuits, totaling $25 million in losses.

Insurance bad faith is when policyholders see their insurance claims denied or the insurance settlement amount lowered without justification. Common insurance bad faith practices include the following:
Insurance claim denial:
Insurance providers deny claims every day. However, they must give a reason they will not accept your claim. If your claim has been denied and the insurance adjuster or company refuses to give a reason, you may have a claim of bad faith.
Delaying a payment:
While the claims process and investigations take time, when an insurance company delays payment without a valid reason it can be considered bad faith. Some ways an insurance company may delay your payment can involve:
Terminating coverage entirely:
In some cases, an insurance company attempts to get out of paying a legitimate claim by canceling or rescinding the policy. Apart from a single claim denial, when an insurance company cancels your insurance coverage, you may be responsible for your own losses.
Ignoring evidence during an investigation:
Your insurance provider has to duty to investigate your case whenever you file a claim. You may have a bad faith claim if the insurance company either fails to conduct an investigation or if it is highly intrusive.
Paying partial claims:
If your claim is covered, your insurance provider should cover the maximum amount under your policy. If your insurance company fails to fulfill the terms of your policy, you may have a case for bad faith.
Insurance bad faith can be financially ruinous, especially in the case of only paying partial claims. Often, an insurance company will only pay the extent of the policy limit after an accident. This leaves the policyholder liable for excess settlement.
Without experienced insurance, bad faith attorney to sue the insurance provider, as well as file an insurance bad faith claim, the policyholder, may have to sacrifice his or her financial security.
