Commonplace Insurance Bad Faith Practices
For people who have been lucky enough to never run into insurance bad faith, the concept may seem foreign and rare. The reality is that insurance companies are looking to save themselves money wherever they can, as any business does regularly. They have a right to try to cut costs but they cannot abuse or exploit their customers to do so, especially when they are contractually bound to provide a certain service.
Insurance bad faith practices that can be utilized against you include:
- Unnecessary delays: Insurance should kick in right when you need it, not when it is too late to help. Delaying the processing of your paperwork or claim without any legitimate reason is one of the most common insurance bad faith strategies. Claiming the printer does not work or their computer is malfunctioning is not a legitimate reason for a delay.
- Unexplained denials: When an insurance company decides it wants to deny a claim, it must send out an explanatory letter that details all of their reasons for the decision. Insurance bad faith may manifest as outright denials with no explanation. The goal is for you to see the denial, accept it, and move on without taking action.
- Lowball offers: An insurance adjuster is tasked to evaluate your damages and injuries to determine what amount is necessary for your total recovery. If they offer you something that they know is not enough, or that intentionally does not consider the future costs of your injury, you may be able to file a case against them.
What Damages Can I Recover In An Insurance Bad Faith Claim?
In an insurance bad faith claim in Colorado, you may be entitled to several types of damages if you successfully prove your case. The primary categories include:
- Compensatory Damages: Meant to make up for the real money you lost. This can include any unpaid balances under your insurance, extra costs brought on by the insurer's dishonest behavior, and any other monetary effects directly connected to the wrongdoing.
- Non-Economic Damages: You may also be entitled to compensation for non-economic losses brought on by the insurer's actions, such as mental anguish, physical discomfort, and inconvenience.
- Punitive Damages: These may be awarded in situations when the insurer's actions were especially heinous or wicked. These are meant to penalize the insurance provider and discourage such behavior in the future.
- Attorney’s Fees and Costs: Should you prevail in an insurance bad faith lawsuit, you will typically be able to recoup all of the expenditures incurred in filing the claim, including legal fees.
