Insurance policies are essentially a contract. As a policyholder, you have an obligation to make timely monthly payments, and your insurer is expected to honor the terms of the policy. When insurance companies fail to settle a claim promptly or handle your claim dishonestly, this is known as insurance bad faith. If you believe that you are a victim of bad faith insurance, it is important to discuss your claim with a bad faith insurance attorney in Houston.
Many policyholders are unaware that insurance companies are legally bound to act in good faith and deal fairly. This includes a commitment to investigate claims promptly and provide reasonable grounds when denying a claim. Understanding the legal framework specific to Texas can empower policyholders to recognize the signs of bad faith and take proactive measures to protect their rights. Consulting with a seasoned attorney in Houston can help untangle the complexities of an insurance dispute, offering vital guidance tailored to local practices.
What are some examples of an insurer handling a claim in bad faith?
- Unnecessarily delaying a valid claim
- Denying a claim without providing an explanation
- Neglecting or refusing to investigate a claim
- Misrepresenting or misleading a policyholder about coverage
- Paying a policyholder less than what they are owed
- Forcing you to sign a release form prior to full payment
