Sometimes when policyholders file valid claims for property damage, the insurance company doesn’t resolve the claims in good faith. An insurance company acts in bad faith when it denies a valid claim without justification or violates the terms of your insurance policy.
Florida Statutes section 624.155 defines bad faith as a situation involving a company that fails to settle a claim that it could have resolved fairly and honestly. If your insurer doesn’t investigate your claim, refuses to resolve your matter in a timely manner, or denies your claim without justification, it may have acted in bad faith. We can bring a bad faith claim and seek justice under Florida statutory law or common law for you, if necessary, and can file litigation when your insurer tries to deny your rights.
