Philadelphia Bad Faith Insurance Attorney
Bad faith is the failure of a company to uphold its contract with you, the consumer. For an insurance company, this often means a failure to quickly or adequately pay or defend a claim. It may mean that the company puts its own interests before those of its customer. In any situation in which your insurance company fails to honor its contractual obligations to you, you may have a claim for bad faith.
Often bad faith claims involve detail examination of the contract in question, and this may reveal obscure or intentionally unclear and confusing terms and conditions. Insurance companies are expected to may terms clear and self-evident and in court such misleading or ambiguous documents will often be interpreted in favor of the insured. It is also important to note the a bad faith claim does not require proof of intended harm, only proof of failure to honor the contract.
