Insurance Attorney in in Hilton Head

Insurance plans are purchased to mitigate potential losses after an unforeseen event. You pay a premium to ensure that your insurance provider will be there for you when you need them. When you place a claim, and it’s not handled correctly, you might wonder what you were paying for in the first place. “Bad faith” is a term used to describe insurance companies’ deceitful practices when evaluating a client’s claim. Some examples of insurance companies acting in bad faith include:

• Unreasonably delaying a claim with no explanation
• Misrepresenting the amount of a claim (“Lowballing”)
• Threatening a client about making a claim
• Denying a claim before an investigation is performed
• Intentionally withholding information regarding a claim
• Altering the policy so a certain situation is no longer covered
• Suddenly cancelling a policy before the client is paid

In South Carolina, you’re entitled to recover damages associated with a fraudulent claim denial if it can be proven that the insurance company acted in bad faith. This law applies to any of the aforementioned scenarios and was put in place to protect you against deceptive and misleading business practices.

Proving an insurance claim has been handled inappropriately requires a keen eye for detail, as insurance companies will do their best to hide their actions to avoid financial consequences. This can be a tricky process, however, and it helps to have an attorney you can trust on your side.
