Chandler Bad Faith Insurance Claims Lawyers
Arizona law states that insurance carriers must handle each claim fairly and be reasonable. If an insured submits a claim and they do not receive the coverage that they paid good money for, they might have an Arizona bad faith insurance claim. Insurance companies owe a duty of good faith to their clients. This means they will act in good faith and pay to pay legitimate claims promptly, in full, and treat the insured party fairly. When an insurer fails to act in good faith, the insured may have a bad faith claim against the insurer.
The courts will consider the reasonableness of the insurance company to determine if they acted in bad faith or not. Below are a few examples where the Arizona court has found unreasonable:
- The insurance company denies a claim without a reasonable investigation.
- The insurance company attempts to coerce the insured party into a settlement by delaying payment.
- The insurance company delays the claim for an unreasonable amount of time.
- The insurance company attempts to use a part of the policy that has previously been ruled invalid.
- The insurance company fails to inform the insured of the duty to submit appropriate forms.
- The company delays paying part of the claim that is undisputed to try to get a disputed portion of the claim settled.
Insurance companies would like to pay as little as possible to settle claims and they have people who’s job it is to get people to take low-ball settlements. In a perfect world no one should have to file a bad faith claim. Insurance companies should honor all legitimate claims in a timely and fair manner, and most do. But when an insurance company fails to meet their good faith commitment to their clients hiring an experienced good faith claim attorney may be the only way to force them to honor the claim.
