Arizona Does Not Recognize True Third-Party Bad Faith Claims Like Some Other States
Our office will occasionally receive a contact that goes something like this: “I was in an accident. The other driver was at fault. The other driver’s insurance company is not treating me fairly, and I want to sue them for bad faith.” In some states, that is possible. Arizona is not one of those states. […]
Arizona Insurance Bad Faith Attorneys
Insurance companies often violate Arizona’s Unfair Claims Practices Act because they are more concerned about their own profit than protecting their insurance policyholders. Only an experienced Arizona Insurance Bad Faith Attorney and Phoenix Insurance Policy Dispute Lawyer may be able to get you what the insurance company owes.
You are experiencing a difficult time in your life. You need your insurance company to fulfill their obligation. But instead, they delay or even deny your insurance policy claim. When you most need the policy honored and need the insurance company to stand by your side, they are disputing your claim and making you feel like you have done something wrong. Insurance bad faith can be demonstrated in a variety of ways:
- Through Wrongful Insurance Claim Denial and Failure to Investigate and Fairly Evaluate Claim
- Improper accusations of insurance fraud. This is increasingly common with Homeowner Insurance fire and burglary claims as well as Automobile Insurance theft claims.
- Encouraging you to settle for less, “low ball” offers, than what you deserve
- Intimidating and harassing you, your family, friends, and colleagues
- Forcing you to jump through endless bureaucratic hoops and repeatedly asking you to produce the same information that you had previously provided to the insurance company
- Practicing post-claim underwriting, common in Life Insurance, Health Insurance, and Long Term Care Insurance claims
- Demonstrating Insurance Agent Error / Insurance Producer Malpractice
No one should feel like the victim of an insurance company.
