Most people in the United States have one form of insurance or another. The type of insurance can range from car insurance to homeowner’s insurance to life insurance. The purpose of insurance policies is to ensure that if something happens to you or your property, the damage will be partially or entirely paid for. All of these insurance policies have different options for people to pick from, ranging from very limited coverage to full coverage. For example, in car insurance policies, some policies will only cover damage to other cars while others will cover damage to both your car and the other car, regardless of fault.

Before you pick an insurance policy, there is usually paperwork given to you outlining the exact limits of your policy. Those limits are binding to both you and the insurer. If the insurer reneges on the policy once something happens to you, then you may be able to sue them for bad faith. The concept of this lawsuit is that in all of the insurance policies, there comes an implied “good faith” portion, meaning that the company will act in good faith and protect you under the terms of the policy. If the company violates that good faith clause, then they may be civilly liable for your damages.

Each insurance policy is different, and if you have found yourself in a potential insurance bad faith case, then you need to consult with an experienced attorney in the area.
