Insurance Bad Faith Litigation

Insurance Bad Faith Attorney Los Angeles

Understanding Bad Faith Insurance Claims in California

Bad faith litigation cases arise when someone believes their insurance company has not dealt with them fairly. This can include charges of negligence, inadequate evaluation, or fraud. If your company has been charged with bad faith, do not delay in seeking experienced insurance law assistance from The Mirkhan Law Firm.

Our Los Angeles bad faith insurance attorney has served a wide variety of clients for over 20 years and can offer committed legal defense to meet your needs. Whether you are facing an insurance dispute with a health insurance claim, life insurance claim, property claims, or liability insurance claim, we are equipped to provide creative and cost-effective solutions to your claim.

Defining Bad Faith in Insurance Practices

Every insurance policy includes what is known as an "implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing." This can be difficult for the average consumer to fully understand.

Some examples of insurance companies acting in bad faith include:

Denying or delaying payments without reason
Not affirming or denying claim coverage within a reasonable length of time
Failing to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation of any claims
Misrepresenting state or federal law or insurance policy language

Additionally, insurance companies have a duty to defend, meaning they must provide legal representation to their policyholders in a lawsuit that fits within the scope of their coverage.

California Bad Faith Insurance Claims: Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations for pursuing a bad faith claim is typically two years from the date of the initial conduct. However, it can be difficult to determine when the statute of limitations for a bad faith case begins to run. This is why it is important to reach out to an attorney as soon as possible if you suspect your insurance acted in bad faith.

What to Expect with Bad Faith Insurance Claims in Los Angeles

A bad faith claim can be devastating if not met with the proper defense. This is primarily because clients can file for a number of damages in addition to the coverage perceived as insufficient.

Possible bad faith damages can include:

Emotional or medical damages (resulting from the bad faith case)
Attorney fees and additional expenses
Compensation for lost earnings

These and other charges may be levied against your company if it is found guilty of bad faith, resulting in thousands of dollars in losses. In addition, your company could face bad faith claims from current or past employees as a third-party insurance provider if you are considered to have taken insufficient action in a lawsuit against one of your policyholders.

The prosecution will often take advantage of California's complex Fair Claims Settlement Practices Regulations to claim bad faith even on a reasonable settlement. Contact our firm to speak with an attorney who is knowledgeable in Los Angeles insurance law, and can take on your case.
