Insurance Bad Faith in California

Insurance is meant to protect you, but sometimes insurance companies act in bad faith, putting their profits above your rights. At David’s Law Firm, we fight for clients who have been wronged by insurance companies, ensuring that they receive the compensation they are legally entitled to.

What Is Insurance Bad Faith?
Insurance bad faith occurs when an insurance company unfairly denies, delays, or underpays a legitimate claim, violating its duty to act in good faith toward policyholders. Common examples include:
•Denying a claim without a reasonable investigation
•Delaying payment unnecessarily
•Offering a settlement far below the value of your claim
•Misrepresenting policy coverage or the claims process
•Failing to communicate or respond in a timely manner

Under California law, insurers have a legal duty to deal fairly with policyholders. When they breach this duty, you have the right to pursue legal action for compensation beyond your original claim, including damages for financial loss and emotional distress.

Common Situations Involving Bad Faith
• Auto insurance claims: When an insurer refuses to pay for a legitimate accident claim
•Homeowners insurance disputes: Denial of coverage for property damage, fire, water, or theft claims
•Health or disability insurance: Refusal to cover necessary treatment or benefits
•Commercial insurance: Businesses denied claims for liability, property loss, or business interruption
