Champaign Insurance Claim Attorneys

After an auto accident that causes damages or injuries, an insured driver should receive compensation for the covered accident costs. The amount of coverage depends largely on the kind of policy he or she has purchased. However, some insurance companies may fail to provide this coverage. If this has occurred, the policyholder often has the right to pursue a legal case against the insurer in what is known as an insurance bad faith claim.

Causes of Bad Faith Claims

An insurance policy acts as a contract of service between the insurer and the insured. So long as policyholders keep up their end of the agreement by following policy rules and paying for the policy, the insurance company should provide coverage and payment when appropriate. The following cases of insurance company failure may result in a bad faith suit:

• Late or unreasonably delayed coverage payment
• Unreasonable denial of coverage
• Failure to pay for legal representation
• Failure to investigate

Insurance companies have a responsibility to provide the coverage they have promised to customers. If they fail to uphold this responsibility, legal action may be warranted.
