Insurance Coverage/Bad Faith Claims

When you file an insurance claim, whether with your own insurance company or another driver’s insurer, you are entitled to certain expectations. While you can expect the process to be a hassle, you can also expect the insurance companies to handle your claim in good faith. Although the insurance companies are well within their rights to deny coverage when a claim falls outside of their policyholder’s coverage, when a claim is covered, the law prohibits them from treating claimants unfairly. If you believe that your claim has been wrongfully denied, you may be entitled to compensation for insurance bad faith.

Examples of Bad Faith Insurance Practices

Bad faith insurance practices can take many forms. If you have experienced any of the following, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your auto accident plus additional compensation for insurance bad faith:

  • The insurance company failed to conduct a timely and unbiased investigation of your claim.

  • The insurance company is unreasonably delaying the processing of your claim.

  • The insurance company is pushing you to accept “low ball” settlement offers that are far less than the value of your claim.

  • The insurance company has misrepresented the terms of your (or the at-fault driver’s) insurance policy or any applicable provision of Texas law.

  • The insurance company is refusing to consider verified facts or evidence from the investigation of the accident.

  • The insurance company has accused you of violating the law or threatened legal action against you.

  • The insurance company denied your claim without providing a reasonable basis for the denial.
