Bad Faith
YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY OWES YOU A DUTY OF GOOD FAITH AND FAIR DEALINGS.
Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. Arizona law imposes a duty of good faith and fair dealing on the insurance company.
When your insurance company breaches its good faith duty to you, you may have a claim for damages against the insurance company.
COMMON BAD FAITH PRACTICES
Insurance companies can be overbearing and over zealous in putting their interests before yours. The most common areas of bad faith:
Not properly adjusting the damage to your vehicle
Denying your claim without a reasonable basis
Using delay tactics to defeat your claim
Not properly adjusting your UM and IM claim
Denying medical payment benefits
Failing to investigate your claim in a timely manner
Denying you coverage on a technicality
Paying less than you are entitled
Not following Arizona Department of Insurance regulations
