In Florida, insurance companies are required to live up to contractual obligations
made to their policyholders under the policy of insurance. When a company fails
to honor these obligations, it is said to be acting in "bad faith."
Examples of an insurance company acting in bad faith may include: - Refusing
to pay or reimburse an expense covered by the insurance policy.
- Using
outrageous delay tactics to prolong the payment of a claim.
- Subjecting
a policyholder to unreasonable and extreme measures in order to process a claim.
- Refusing to settle a claim made against one of the company's policyholders.
If your insurance company has acted in bad faith, you will be
entitled to recover your policy benefits and, in addition, the insurance
company will be required to pay reasonable attorneys fees and court
costs. In some cases, damages in excess of the policy limits may
be awarded to you. The lawyers at Hancock & Hancock, P.A. have
experience in many types of insurance disputes involving bad faith,
including automobile insurance, health insurance, and homeowners
insurance.
