Insurance Bad Faith: What It Is and What You Can Do About It

When you file a claim after an accident, you expect the insurance company to act fairly. But sometimes, they don’t. That’s called insurance bad faith—and it’s illegal.

At Edvin Law, we’ve gone head-to-head with major insurers who delay, underpay, or deny valid claims. If you feel like the insurance company isn’t treating you fairly, here are the steps you should take:

🔍 What Is Insurance Bad Faith?

Insurance bad faith happens when an insurer:

• Unreasonably delays paying a claim

• Denies a valid claim without proper investigation

• Offers far less than the claim is worth

• Ignores evidence or fails to communicate with you

🛡 What You Should Do:

1. Document Everything – Save letters, emails, adjuster notes, and dates of calls.

2. Know Your Policy – Understand your coverage limits and rights.

3. Don’t Settle Too Soon – A quick offer is often a lowball offer.

4. Call an Attorney – We can pressure the insurance company to do the right thing—or take them to court.

💥 Why It Matters:

When insurers act in bad faith, they can be forced to pay damages beyond your original claim—including attorney fees and punitive damages.

At Edvin Law, we don’t back down. If an insurance company is playing dirty, we’ll hold them accountable.
