Insurance Bad Faith & Ocala Motorcycle Accident Claims

Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Serving Ocala, FL

When an insurance company does not honor a valid motorcycle accident claim and disburse fair compensation, this may be a form of insurance bad faith and grounds for a civil lawsuit. Insurance companies are for-profit organizations. They are in the business of making money, and more money is to be had by collecting insurance premiums rather than paying out claims. Although insurance companies are granted the opportunity to investigate claims to weed out and deny exaggerated or false claims, they must be fair in their treatment of policyholders and claimants. This is referred to as acting in good faith. Bad faith practices occur when an insurance company actively tries to find ways to deny or delay claims even when they are valid.

What is my Legal Recourse for Insurance Bad Faith?

Like any accident claim, insurance bad faith lawsuits are handled in civil court.

This means that a victim may able to recover more than the initial claim was actually worth.
