BAD FAITH INSURANCE
/When an insurance company violates principles or regulations governing insurance law, it may constitute “bad faith” in denying a claim, stalling in making a decision on a claim or requiring unreasonable actions / documentation by an insured to prove a claim. In addition to the value of the claim itself, an insurance company acting in bad faith may also be liable for damages for causing emotional distress to the plaintiff and even punitive damages if the pattern of conduct is egregious.
The Curran Firm, P.C. understands that even though you may pay your premiums faithfully, your insurance company is not always looking out for your best interests. Often times, in fact, your insurance company may automatically deny and then litigate a claim based simply on the amount, rather than the validity, of the denied claim.
