Bad Faith Insurance Lawyer in Denver, CO
Insurance companies—including one’s own insurer—have a legal duty to handle all insurance claims honestly and in good faith, no matter how large a claimant’s settlement might be. When insurance companies attempt to hide available coverage from a claimant or adjusters engage in unethical or illegal activities to reduce or deny legitimate claims, our lawyers understand that these actions qualify as insurance bad faith. Denver individuals affected by these incidents may need an insurance settlement to recover after an accident or injury, and bad faith can lead some innocent people to financial ruin.

Hiring an attorney dramatically enhances your chances of winning an insurance bad faith case and increases the amount you could receive.

What Is Insurance Bad Faith?
“Bad faith” insurance can apply to a number of possible events. Essentially, any unethical, dishonest, intimidating, or otherwise coercive behavior on the part of an insurance company constitutes bad faith. Some common examples of bad faith insurance practices include:
- Lying or misrepresenting aspects of a policy to reduce a claimant’s settlement
- Failure or refusal to act on a received claim
- Failure to adopt a clear policy for handling and processing claims
- Failure to adopt clear policies for investigating claims
- Failure or refusal to provide a clear explanation for the denial or reduction of a claim
- Failure or refusal to respond to an insured claimant after the claimant provided proof of loss
- Coercing or threatening a claimant into dropping a claim
What to Do About an Insurance Bad Faith Claim
If you suspect an insurer is dealing in bad faith with your claim, you should secure legal representation as soon as possible. An attorney can draft a letter claiming bad faith to the insurer which will clearly outline the elements of your claim, evidence of the insurer’s bad faith practices, and a demand for a fair settlement. In many cases, such a letter can be enough to convince an insurer to cooperate – the financial drain of a lawsuit will typically be much greater than paying a settlement for a legitimate claim.
