Bad Faith Insurance Claims
Some insurance companies refuse to compensate their insureds for a legitimate personal injury claim. As a result, they fail to meet their obligations to policyholders. This is when the latter must file for a bad faith insurance claim. Doing so is sometimes necessary in order to preserve one's rights.
How to Identify Bad Faith Tactics
There are many signs your insurance company is acting in bad faith following the denial to compensate you for your personal injury case. For instance, the insurance company can deny coverage without investigation of the claim, or they can spend a long time before they make you an offer. Another tactic is not to respond to your calls, messages, and emails or make you a low ball offer.

Depending on the bad faith level you're suspecting from the insurance company and the stage you are at in your insurance claim process, you may need to reach out to a legal expert to determine how to best solve the problem. You may need to work with an attorney experienced in bad faith cases.
