Las Vegas Insurance Bad Faith Claims
Most people own at least some type of insurance, such as auto, health, life, home, disability, fire/casualty, renters, title, marine, or long-term care insurance. Insurance law primarily revolves around issues arising out of a contract between the insurance company and the insured party.
If you or someone you know has been denied a legitimate Las Vegas insurance claim, you need an attorney knowledgeable on bad faith litigation. An insurance policy is considered a contract between you, the insured, and your insurance company. This agreement requires that the insurance company act in “good faith” toward you. If an insurance company unreasonably withholds the benefits of the policy from its insured, it may be considered an act of bad faith.
Insurance companies may commit bad faith by:
- Failing to promptly and thoroughly investigate a claim.
- Deliberately delaying payment.
- Unreasonably denying benefits to a claim.
- Refusing to settle a case.
- Failing to reimburse you entirely for your loss.
- Using unreasonable interpretations in translating the language of the policy.
