Has your insurance company acted
in bad faith?
Did you know that in Florida there are laws in place that govern how insurance companies are supposed to treat their policyholders? There are Florida Statutes in place that specifically set forth what insurance companies must and must not do in the handling of insurance claims.
Adherence to the level of conduct required from insurance companies by law is called acting in good faith. If your insurance company does not adhere to the standard of conduct mandated by law, it fails to act in good faith or acts in bad faith. When an insurance company acts in bad faith, the policyholder may have the right to sue the insurance company and collect damages.
If you feel that your insurance company has acted in bad faith by improperly denying or underpaying your insurance claim, by wrongfully canceling your policy, or by otherwise acting without your best interest as a policyholder in mind, you should consider contacting an experienced property insurance attorney to learn about your rights and potential remedies.
