The state of Florida has its own laws that provide policyholders with the right to sue their insurance company if it does not act in good faith and deal with you fairly. Unreasonable actions by your insurance company that either delay or deny coverage include unfair claim settlement practices such as:
- Failure to properly investigate a claim in timely manner
- Misrepresentation of a policy
- Inadequate good faith attempt to settle a claim
- Denying a claim without proper investigation
- Refusal or inadequately slow payment of claim
Unfortunately, insurers occasionally use improper tactics to delay, deny or slow down payment on your insurance claim. If this is the case, they may be acting in bad faith and they can be held liable for the damage caused.
