Insurance Bad Faith and Extra Contractual Claims
Protecting Your Rights with Expert Legal Assistance
When dealing with insurance claims, it is important to know that insurance companies have a legal obligation to act in good faith and deal fairly with policyholders. However, there are instances where insurers act in bad faith or fail to fulfill their contractual obligations, causing additional harm and distress to policyholders. If you have experienced such misconduct, Baytowne Reporting is here to help you hold the insurance company accountable and seek fair compensation for your losses.
Understanding Insurance Bad Faith
Insurance bad faith refers to situations where an insurance company fails to act reasonably and in good faith towards its policyholders. This can include wrongful denial of claims, unnecessary delays, inadequate investigations, or undervaluing the damages suffered by the insured individuals or businesses.
When an insurance company acts in bad faith, it not only violates the trust between the insurer and the insured but also goes against the law. Policies are legally binding contracts, and insurers must adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in the policy. If they act in a manner that goes against the policy provisions or intentionally deny valid claims, they can be held liable for bad faith.
Extra Contractual Claims
Extra contractual claims, also known as "bad faith claims," come into play when an insurance company's actions go beyond a breach of the contractual obligations. If an insurer's conduct is deemed to be particularly egregious, malicious, or fraudulent, policyholders may be entitled to pursue additional damages beyond the initial claim amount in order to compensate for the harm caused.
