INSURANCE LAW 101
An insurance policy is a formal agreement between a policyholder and an insurance company that is bound by state and federal law. The insured agrees to exchange a premium for the promise that the insurance company will indemnify (compensate) the insured after a loss. Insurance is meant to act as a hedge of protection for the policyholder so, even in the worst scenarios, the policyholder is protected after a loss.
Unfortunately, insurance companies do not always honor their obligations. This can lead to disputes between the insurance company and the insured regarding everything from coverage to the level of compensation agreed upon after an incident has already occurred. While in some cases coverage may not be provided in one’s policy for a particular peril (e.g., fires, water damage, hurricanes, floods), there are also instances in which insurers intentionally deny or underpay their clients when coverage is provided in their policy. This is known as “acting in bad faith.”
EXAMPLES OF INSURANCE BAD FAITH
Insurance bad faith occurs any time an insurance company fails to uphold its obligations under the specific language of an insurance policy or fails to act according to state or federal laws, insurance regulations, or good faith policies.
Specific examples of insurance bad faith include:

Insurance litigation can be used to determine the liability (fault) of a loss involving another party or to establish the legal responsibility an insurance company owes its insured after a loss.
EXAMPLES OF INSURANCE BAD FAITH
When an insurance company acts in bad faith, the policyholder has the right to sue the insurance company for damages.
Depending on the specific details of the case, the policyholder may be entitled to the following types of damages:
