How to know if an insurance company is acting in bad faith
Posted on Friday, January 27th, 2017
While it can be impossible to know when your insurance company is being deceptive until you actually have to file a claim, you can look for the common signs of an insurance company that refuses to honor your policy. Bad faith practices can include:
Making multiple demands for documentation
An investigation is delayed for no valid reason
A settlement is offered too quickly
An insurer pressures you into accepting a settlement by insisting it’s the “best offer you will get”
An insurer is hard to reach or doesn’t communicate with you often
An insurer doesn’t acknowledge evidence you’ve submitted
You have a valid claim and it is denied
Your policy is unexpectedly cancelled
