    About Bad Faith Insurance Claims

    Under Texas law, insurance companies owe a duty of good faith and fair dealing to their customers. When they fail to honor that commitment and act in bad faith, the people who were relying upon insurance benefits can suffer severe financial hardship. Examples of insurance bad faith include:

    • Undervaluing claims
    • Unjustified delay in paying a claim
    • Refusing to adequately investigate a claim
    • Creating unreasonable obstacles for the claimant to overcome
    • Using biased experts such as investigators, loss adjusters and property valuation experts to undervalue a claim
    • Threatening you, the policyholder, with costly lawsuits or even criminal investigations
