Insurance Bad Faith
Enforcing the Law on Insurance Companies in Kitsap County
How do know if your insurance company is acting in bad faith? Insurance Companies are prohibited from refusing to pay, delaying a payment, minimizing or low-balling the amount. If they do not willingly pay in a timely manner, then they are considered to be in "bad faith" towards their policyholders. Studies show that 85-95% of all insurance companies are in bad faith (BF) and they repeatedly break the law and try to cheat their insured out of the full repayment that is rightfully owed to them.
There is the FBIC program that was established for one sole purpose, to "Fight Bad-Faith Insurance Companies." They devote their time trying to identify the very few insurance companies out there that still operate in good faith. There are more than one million annual complaints for consumers that are submitted to the state insurance regulators and this outrageous number continues to grow. There are even rallying groups of Americans that try to boycott every BF insurance company so that they will financially suffer and hopefully change their ways.
How Do I Prove I Have Bad Faith Insurance?
To prove that you have bad faith insurance you can use the company’s basis for denying a claim and ignoring evidence proof that shows that policyholder’s basis for making claims. If an insurer fails to reply to a policyholder’s claim, that act of negligence, willful or not, is considered bad faith. For insurance companies to not act in bad faith, insurers must also explain why they refuse to cover a claim or partly cover it.
