St. Louis Insurance Bad Faith Cases

Personal Injury Lawyer in St. Louis

When a person has a policy with an insurance company, they have entered into a legal contract that states that the person will pay a set amount on a monthly, bi-monthly or other payment basis, and in return will receive good faith treatment when needed, such as coverage of benefits as agreed upon in the contract.

When insurance companies fail to meet the requirements as drawn out in the insurance policy, the company is acting in bad faith. This generally means the insurance company has failed to pay for something stated in the policy, or that the insurance company is ceasing reimbursement or compensation for benefits covered in the policy.

Unfortunately, bad faith claims are common in cases where the policyholder feel the effect of contract negligence, and most often in terms of unpaid medical bills. These financial hardships can result not only in debt, but also bankruptcy and in some cases, homelessness.
