The legal definition of a bad faith action is: ‘an intentional dishonest act by not fulfilling legal or contractual obligations, misleading another, entering into an agreement without the intention or means to fulfill it, or violating basic standards of honesty in dealing with insurance claim handling.' Most states recognize what is called "implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing" which is breached by acts of bad faith.
Bad Faith generally occurs when your own insurance company fails to treat you, their own insured paying customer, fairly and honest. When it comes to insurance, examples of bad faith include:
Bad faith insurance refers to an insurance company's attempt to renege on its obligations to its clients. When an insurer unreasonably refuses to pay a claim, unreasonably refuses to fairly evaluate a claim, fails to honor benefits owed under the insurance contract agreement or tries to alter the rights of their customers when a claim is made against the policy, they are operating in bad faith. If you have been injured or suffered damage to or loss of personal property, your insurance company is required by law to investigate, evaluate, and pay valid claims in good faith. If your insurance company has failed to live up to its end of the bargain by not properly investigating, evaluating, or adequately paying benefits under your claim, you may have grounds to file a bad faith lawsuit. The insurance company’s conduct, if found to be unreasonable, can lead to additional damages against the insurance company as a punishment for its actions.
