Depending on the location of the insurance company, you may need to file a federal case. Filing in a state court might be possible if there’s a strong enough link between the insurance company and the state of Nevada.
Your Reno bad faith insurance lawyer will do the research on this and inform you about your best options for filing the case.
When they go to file the case, your attorney will likely need to specify the type of illegal activity your insurance provider has engaged in. Common accusations in a bad faith insurance claim include:
Breach of contract
Violations of Nevada’s Unfair Claim Practices Act
Breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing
Deceptive Trade Practices
The type of claim you file will depend on the specific bad faith practices your insurer engaged in.
