What Is Bad Faith Insurance?

Property and casualty Insurance exists to protect you and your loved ones from the financial devastation that can follow a severe weather-related event. When you choose an insurance company, you enter into a legally binding agreement that gives you coverage to protect you and your investments from damage and extreme financial loss. So what happens when you are confronted with a loss and your insurance company fails to meet their end of the deal? Or they offer less money than the extent of your damaged property? Or they fail to respond to your claim in a timely manner? All of these instances are examples of insurance bad faith and they all violate the Texas Insurance Code. Unfortunately, insurance companies don’t always act in good faith, and it can be confusing to understand whether or not your insurance company is attempting to manipulate you. Luckily, the Parker Law Firm is here to help you determine whether or not your insurance company is trying to take advantage of you. Below are some examples of bad faith insurance practices.

An insurer may be acting in bad faith if…

  1. Your insurer misrepresents your policy in any way. This includes the terms, the benefits and the advantages of the policy.
  2. Your insurer fails to affirm or deny coverage of your claim in a timely manner.
  3. Your insurer fails to pay a covered claim as a result of failing to properly investigate liability and damages based upon all available information.
  4. Your insurer fails to attempt in good faith a prompt, fair and equitable settlement in which the insurer’s liability is clear.
  5. Your insurer makes false statements regarding your previous payments on the policy.
  6. Your insurer misrepresents a material fact as it relates to your claim.
  7. Your insurer fails to explain policy limits and applicable provisions or exclusions in a timely manner.
  8. Your insurer refuses or delays a settlement offer under applicable first-party coverage on the basis that other coverage may be available or that third parties are responsible for the damages suffered.
  9. Your insurer uses illegal and fraudulent investigative techniques.
  10. Your insurer fails to offer fair evaluation of damages within a reasonable time upon receipt of claim.

Protect Yourself with the Parker Law Firm

The bottom line of insurance bad faith cases is this: your insurance company is attempting to mislead you so that the company can save money on your claim.

They are a "5" on all qualities: especially professionalism. We received a superb referral to an attorney who met our exact needs. We would not have known about that attorney's office - Kent Davis - had it not been for the quick responsiveness to an inquiry for an estate attorney. The Brad Parker Law Firm has a spirit of partnership with potential clients, actual clients and fellow attorneys. Greatly appreciated. If I have a need for Mr. Parker's direct services, I will certainly give him a call.

I called for a consultation on a vehicle accident. Patricia was eager to help and was so professional. She took her time speaking to us and answered any questions my husband and I had without hesitation. She also offered to send us valuable information. They made us feel at ease during a very stressful time. I would definitely recommend their services.
