When Is Considered Insurance Bad Faith in New Mexico?
You should not have to fight an insurance company to get what you are owed. The process should be as simple as documenting your losses, filing a claim, and promptly receiving the money you need to recover. After all, insurance companies have a legal obligation to honor the agreement they make with policyholders. When you pay premiums on a policy, your provider promises to give you compensation for losses covered by the policy.
The frustrating reality is that many insurance companies assume that their policyholders are not aware of their rights or do not have the resources to combat bad-faith tactics. They act in bad faith when they fail to hold up their end of the bargain and have no legitimate basis to deny or underpay a claim.
Examples of bad faith insurance practices include:
- Denying an insurance claim for no justifiable reason
- Refusing to pay a legitimate insurance claim for no justifiable reason
- Delaying the payment of a legitimate insurance claim for no justifiable reason
- Failing or refusing to conduct a sufficient investigation into an insurance claim
- Delaying an investigation into an insurance claim for no justifiable reason
- Modifying an insurance policy’s terms after a claim has been filed
- Offering an unacceptably low settlement for an insurance claim that warrants a greater level of compensation
- Failing or refusing to communicate with the policyholder in a timely manner
- Making inappropriate or unreasonable demands of the policyholder
Do not wait to get legal support if it becomes clear that your insurance company is not going to treat you fairly. Our Albuquerque insurance attorneys are prepared to advocate for you and will make every effort to facilitate a swift, favorable resolution.
