Boca Raton Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer When you buy insurance, you expect to get a fair deal. Should an event occur for which you have coverage, you expect your insurance company to pay you promptly and fully. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Insurance bad faith is a situation in which your insurance company fails to deal with you in an honest and timely manner. The two most common types of bad faith are:

Denial of a legitimate claim
Excessive delay in payment of a legitimate claim

Insurance policies are intricate and complex legal documents. Some insurance companies play to the fact that most people don't read through the documents or understand what their coverage fully entails. Remember – every time an insurance company pays out a claim, they lose money, and that isn't in their best interest.

Sometimes an insurance company will acknowledge your claim, but take an unreasonable amount of time to pay you. This is an internal situation with the company. Often, if the company delays a claim long enough, they are able to stall negative financial reports to their stockholders.

An attorney that is on your side, rather than the side of the insurance company, can really help. When your insurance company realizes that you are prepared, able and willing to go to court, it becomes in their financial best interest to settle your claim as quickly as possible. A long court case is the last thing an insurance company wants.
