Whether your insurance company bad faith case involves the unreasonable handling of a claim, either through non-payment, denial of the claim, delay in paying the claim or providing a low settlement, serious injury attorney Scott Marks understands the far reaching impact.

Under California law, insurance companies cannot refuse to pay a customer's claim without "reasonable justification." This means that an insurance company must engage in a reasonable investigation and pay legitimate claims in a timely manner. An insurance company must handle claims fairly and in good faith. The unreasonable handling of a claim, either through non-payment, denial of the claim, delay in paying the claim or providing a low settlement, is bad faith. Under the law, a policyholder or insured may seek recovery against their insurance company for monetary damages, attorney fees, emotional distress and punitive damages in cases where the insurance carrier has committed bad faith.

If an insurance company fails to handle its customer's claim properly, it may be held accountable for resulting economic losses, including lost wages, interest on money the insured borrowed to cover expenses while insurance benefits were wrongfully withheld, and loss due to damaged credit.
