What Is Bad Faith?
People buy insurance to protect against financial loss. In exchange, they pay premiums to their insurer, who then owes them a duty to provide coverage, uphold the terms of the policy, and pay all valid claims.
Sadly, insurance companies don’t always do what’s right. Instead, they sometimes engage in deceptive practices, or act in bad faith. Some examples include:
- Deliberately misrepresenting the insured’s policy
- Denying a claim without undergoing a thorough investigation
- Neglecting to provide a basis for denying a claim
- Failing to inform the insured that information is needed to adjust a claim
- Denying a claim without a valid reason
- Unreasonably delaying a claim to avoid resolution
- Asking the insured to contribute to the settlement when they shouldn’t have to
- Ignoring a claim altogether
What Protections Are Provided by the State of West Virginia?
Under West Virginia law, bad faith insurance refers to an insurance company’s failure or refusal to pay a legitimate claim. Whether your claim was ignored, delayed, paid only in part, or purposefully mishandled in another way, you may be able to recover damages from the insurance company in a bad faith lawsuit.
To be successful, you will need to prove that the insurance company acted unreasonably and without factual justification to support its decision. Determining bad faith and proving these elements can be difficult, so it’s important that you put your trust in an attorney who is well-versed in handling these matters.
