Examples of Insurance Bad Faith
You might assume that when you purchase an insurance policy from a seemingly reputable insurance company, they will promptly pay claims when submitted. But this is not always the case. An insurance company may be acting in bad faith if the company:
- Fails to pay a covered claim
- Fails to settle a case within policy limits, exposing the insured to personal liability
- Unreasonably delays the payment of a covered claim
Why Do Insurance Companies Act in Bad Faith?

The longer they retain the money, the more they make on their investments. Thus, from a purely financial standpoint, the insurer has an incentive to delay the payment of claims.
