Insurance Bad Faith FAQ

Insurance Bad Faith FAQ

If an insurer is found to have acted in bad faith, the policyholder may be entitled to recover an amount greater (and in some cases, much greater) than the insurance policy limit, or the amount of the claim that was wrongly denied by the insurance company. Bad faith insurance lawsuits not only serve the purpose of compensating the insured, but can also discourage insurance companies from acting in bad faith in the future.

In a successful bad faith insurance lawsuit, and depending on the type of insurance claim that was unreasonably denied, a policyholder may be able to recover statutory damages in an amount two times the amount of the unreasonably denied claim; statutory interest from the time the claim was wrongfully denied attorneys fees; damages for damage to credit; emotional distress; economic damages; personal injury damages; damages for outrageous conduct; consequential damages; and punitive damages.
Punitive damages are damages awarded by a court to punish a defendant’s harmful conduct. In Colorado, punitive damages may be awarded for a bad faith breach of an insurance contract if the breach is accompanied by circumstances of fraud, malice, or willful and wanton conduct.
 
A first-party bad faith claim arises when a policyholder makes a direct claim with his or her insurance company, and the insurance company, in bad faith, denies or refuses the claim, delays the claim, or pays only part of the claim. If you are a policyholder and believe that your insurance company is acting in bad faith, you should contact a bad faith insurance lawyer to discuss your rights.
Make sure to document your interactions with your insurance company. Take notes during and after phone calls with insurance company representatives. Save any emails you exchange with your insurance providers. Ask your insurance company to provide support in writing for its decisions.

In general, when insurance company deny claims unreasonably and in bad faith, it is for economic reasons. The less money insurance companies pay their policy holders on their claims, the more money the insurance company keeps for itself.
In attempting to reduce the overall amount of money paid to claimants, insurance companies sometimes act in bad faith. Most policyholders do not bring bad faith insurance lawsuits against their insurance companies. Therefore, insurance companies are willing to “gamble” on acting in bad faith with respect to certain claims because they may never be held accountable for their actions.
