In its most simplest terms, bad faith is when your own insurance company treats you unfairly.  Effective August 6, 2008 Colorado insured have a new way to prevent abuse by insurance companies.  Colorado House Bill 1407 will keep insurance companies honest.  Most of us have had experiences with claims being paid late or wrongfully denied.

Historically, the Colorado Courts have recognized an insured's right to bring a bad faith lawsuit against an insurance company for "bad behavior."  However, until now, there have not been adequate remedies mandated by statute.  Under the new law any insured can file suit when their insurance company unreasonably delays, decreases or denies a claim.  If a claim is clearly excessive or frivolous it can still be denied.  However, the days of offering substantially less with the hope that an insurer will take the money and "drop it" or "go away" are gone.  The new law will allow for increased damages and attorney's fees for an insured who wins.  Previously, some insurers could get away with a denial with the only fear that being that they would have to pay the insurance benefits actually due should they loose.  Forcing an insurer to pay what was due anyway did not give the insurance company a reason to pay in a timely manner.  The insurance companies are now accountable for their actions.

Call 303-400-8100 for a free bad faith evaluation.

Contact us to find out if you have a bad faith case against your automobile insurer, your homeowners coverage or under your health insurance policy.  You will speak to a licensed Colorado attorney, not a paralegal or legal assistant.

Denver trial lawyer Dallas Norton  can help you understand your rights and protect you against bad faith behavior by your own insurance company. 

Prohibited actions by an insurer which may amount to bad faith include:

•Delays in processing your claim or communicating with you. 

•Trying to settle your case for an unreasonably low offer. 

•An adjuster lying or simply being inaccurate with information.

•Threatening to cancel your policy or raise premiums to get a low settlement.

•Asking for the same information again and again to get you to drop a claim or settle.

Each case must be looked at individually to determine if your insurance company is acting in bad faith.  You should obtain the advice of an attorney who can recognize bad faith actions.

For a free evaluation about actions taken against you by an insurance company contact Norton Law Offices at 303-400-8100.  In-home, evening and weekend appointments are available.
