Bad Faith Law

Insurance Bad Faith Lawyers

When insurance policy holders (insureds) believe they have been treated unfairly by an insurance company (insurer) they often retain lawyers to pursue claims against their insurance carriers, including claims for benefits and/or bad faith damages. The Blady Weinreb Law Group lawyers have successfully assisted clients with their insurance claims, including litigating claims when necessary.  Pursuing claims against an insurance company may include claims for bad faith for the insurer's unreasonable denial of or delay in paying an insurance claim and/or for failing to defend an insured.

BWLG has extensive experience litigating claims for denial of insurance benefits and insurance bad faith cases. California law allows an insured to sue his, her, or its insurer when an insurer unreasonably denies and/or delays coverage.  To establish a claim for bad faith, an insured must show that (1) the insurer unreasonably denied or delayed a claim such as when it had no reasonable ground to deny insurance policy benefits, and (2) the insurance company knew or recklessly disregarded the fact that it had no reasonable basis for denying or delaying the insurance claim.

Insurance companies may be found to have acted in bad faith for:

  • Failing to pay policy benefits;
  • Failing to settle a claim against an insured within the policy limits;
  • Failing to defend a claim againt an insured; 
  • Conditioning payment of settlement on an undisputed portion of an insurance claim on the settlement of a disputed portion;
  • Exploiting an insured’s vulnerability;
  • Deceiving, defrauding and/or misrepresenting coverage to avoid paying insurance benefits;
  • Delaying payment of insurance benefits;
  • Failing to communicate with the insured;
  • Inadequately or improperly investigating a claim;
  • Making improper demands on an insured;
  • Unfairly raising premiums for filing an insurance claim;
  • Unreasonably denying an insurance claim;
  • Wrongfully cancelling or non-renewing of an insurance policy.
