Facebook Difference Between Bad Faith and Undervalued Insurance Claims? Skip to main content

At The Morgan Law Group P.A., our Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Puerto Rico insurance claims attorneys know that when our clients pursue their coverage for home or business property damages, any response outside of a speedy and full financial recovery seems unfair.

Unfortunately, insurance companies are notorious for delaying, undervaluing, or denying claims. Worse, some may even practice in bad faith, which is more than unfair — it is illegal.

Our skilled insurance claims attorneys can help you understand your legal rights and options to pursue your insurance company for the damages you are entitled to under your policy’s agreement.

Here is what you need to know about bad faith insurance practices, undervalued claims,s and your rights to push back.

What are Common Examples of Bad Faith Insurance Practices?

Insurance companies legally have a duty of “implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing” to their clients.

When they do not fulfill this duty and act in good faith, their policyholders may have grounds for a bad faith insurance lawsuit.

Common examples of bad faith include:

  • The insurance company denied the claim but did not provide a satisfactory reason.
  • The insurance company took an unreasonable length of time to pay the claim.
  • The insurance company intentionally misinterpreted or inaccurately represented their policy to minimize the cost of the claim.
  • The insurance company undervalued or denied the claim after failing to investigate the property damage.

If you believe your insurance company is acting in bad faith, but are unsure how to prove it, contact our skilled insurance claims attorneys today to discuss your concerns, so we can pursue the outcome you deserve for your losses.

How Do I Know If My Insurance Claim is Being Undervalued?

Not every insurance claim denial rises to the level of bad faith.

Insurance companies often undervalue or deny claims to protect their bottom line.

In some cases, the policyholder’s coverage may not include the type of damages suffered, which may result in a denial. Other times, the insurance adjuster may value the damage at a lesser amount than a public adjuster — one who does not work for the insurance company — might.

Our skilled Florida insurance claims lawyers will thoroughly review your insurance policy to highlight the available coverage options that apply to your damages. This allows our clients to pursue the actual recovery costs necessary to make them whole again.
