General Insurance Bad Faith Questions

FAQs

Can I assert a �bad faith� claim on every type of insurance claim that I might present to an insurer?

My insurance company tells me my claim is not covered due to a particular provision in my policy. While it seems to me that the provision in fact covers the loss, isn't the insurance company going to win? Is it any use to fight it?

My spouse has separate coverage and I am not party to that insurance contract. Can I make a claim of bad faith if I am damaged because my spouse was not paid?

How about where the business that I own and operate is the insured. Does the insurer owe me any duty of good faith?

After I filed a claim, the insurance company offered me a settlement. It looks to me like it's a lot less than my actual damages. Do I have to accept it?

I injured someone in a car accident. The insurance company refused to settle within my policy limits and the jury awarded damages in excess of my policy limits. Must I pay the excess?

The insurer has recently told me over the phone that my claim is being denied. What should I do?
