What Is Insurance Bad Faith?
Insurance companies have a legal duty to treat policyholders fairly. When they fail to investigate a claim promptly, use misleading policy language to deny coverage, or drag out the process without justification, they may be acting in bad faith. These tactics can occur across many types of coverage, including auto, health, homeowners, and disability policies.
If you’re struggling with a delayed or denied claim, or if your provider has avoided paying out a valid benefit, it’s important to act quickly. In Kentucky, the law favors policyholders in cases where an insurance company fails to uphold its responsibilities. Our team helps you document the violations, evaluate your policy, and build a case to hold the insurer accountable.
Why Insurance Bad Faith Matters
Bad faith insurance isn’t just about paperwork—it’s about real people facing hardship. Whether it’s a mounting pile of medical bills, property repairs, or lost income, the financial consequences can be overwhelming. But just as damaging is the sense of betrayal when a company you’ve paid premiums to refuses to help in your time of need.
That’s why our attorneys don’t just review the fine print—we fight for your peace of mind. We understand the tactics insurers use, and we know how to counter them. If your provider failed to investigate your claim thoroughly, misrepresented coverage terms, or refused to negotiate fairly, you may be entitled to compensation far beyond the original claim value—including damages for emotional distress or punitive damages for egregious conduct.
