Colorado Insurance Denials and Coverage Information
Your insurance company is supposed to be on your side. Unfortunately, after an accident, many people discover otherwise. When this occurs, you may find yourself involved in an insurance dispute with your insurance company, even while you are still trying to recovery from your injuries. If you or someone you love is involved in an insurance dispute, it is important to know that the Colorado law is on your side.
Whenever you buy an insurance policy, you are essentially entering into a contract with the insurance company. As long as you keep your policy in good standing, your insurance company is legally required to uphold their end of the agreement. If your insurance company fails to do so, they are said to be acting in “bad faith” and you may be entitled to up to THREE times the amount of benefits that are currently owed to you.
Types of Insurance Disputes or Bad Faith Practices:
Failure to investigate a claim properly or efficiently
Refusing to settle a claim
Unreasonable translation of the policy
Failure to adequately reimburse you
Unreasonable delay of payments
Unreasonable denial of a claim
In addition to handling your claims quickly, your insurance company is also responsible for negotiating with third parties on your behalf. They are supposed to negotiate with your best interest in mind, but unfortunately, this is not always the case. If your insurance company fails to pay your claim or fails to negotiate a fair settlement that is in your best interest, you may be able to file a lawsuit against them. An insurance dispute attorney will be able to determine if your insurance company acted illegally and is guilty of breech of contract, breech of fiduciary duty or bad faith practices. Your insurance company may even be found guilty of violating the Colorado Consumer Protection Acts.
If you or someone you love is involved in an insurance dispute, it is important to contact a Colorado Insurance Dispute attorney immediately. Colorado has strict laws in place to protect you from fraudulent insurance companies. Unfortunately, insurance companies often have large firms on their side to help them handle their legal issues quickly and protect their assets. As a result, it is important to have an experienced and aggressive insurance dispute attorney on your side, so you can receive the compensation that is rightfully yours.
