Insurance bad faith is when an insurance company does not hold up its obligations to a policyholder as it relates to when a claim is made on an insurance policy.  John Einreinhofer has experience with insurance bad faith cases, and can help you to resolve matters related to them.

Some examples of bad faith on the part of an insurance company include:

• Undue delay in handling claims

• Inadequate investigation into claims

• Refusal to defend a lawsuit

• Threats against an insured

• Refusing to make a reasonable settlement offer

• Making unreasonable interpretations of an 
  insurance policy

• Not paying a claim they are legally obligated to pay

If you believe any of these are happening to you, contact The Law Offices of John Einreinhofer.  John Einreinhofer is an experienced insurance bad faith attorney, and will fight hard to get you the results you deserve.

It is viewed by the courts that due to the special relationship between an insurance company and the insured that the insurance companies must act in good faith towards their policyholders.  Even if an insurance company is not acting in a fraudulent manner, but is still operating in a fashion that is preventing the insured from having their claims handled properly, they may be engaging in bad faith.

As well, in some cases of bad faith, punitive damages may be awarded to the insured.  This can occur when an insurance company’s handling of a claim results in further loss or damage to the insured.

An example of an insurance company acting in bad faith would be if a family member has died, and the deceased had a life insurance policy.   If the family believes that the cause was natural death, and the insurance company claims it was suicide and will not properly investigate the matter, this may be considered a case of bad faith.

Another example of an insurance company acting in bad faith would be in the event of an auto accident or a natural disaster, the insurance company was not willing to pay a claim in a reasonable amount of time, which could cost the insured more in damages due to inability to continue their life as normal, i.e. – without shelter or transportation.

There are many situations that arise that may be considered insurance bad faith.  If you feel you may be confronted with one, immediately contact John Einreinhofer, an experienced insurance bad faith attorney.  He can help you determine if you have a potential lawsuit against your insurance company.
