Insurance companies in the United States have a legal obligation to fair dealing and a duty of good faith with their policyholders. When insurance companies violate these duties, either through negligence or intentional act, this is called bad faith insurance. In these situations, policyholders have every right to file tort claims in pursuit of appropriate compensation. In addition, breach of contract claims may also be in order in certain cases. If you have been the victim of bad faith insurance don’t hesitate to enlist the advocacy of Foshee & Yaffe, Attorneys at Law to represent your best interests.
