Understanding Your Obligations for Submitting an Insurance Claim

It is an insurance company’s obligation to handle your claim expediently, reasonably, and in good faith. The duty of good faith involves:

– Adjusting your claim promptly
– Cooperating with you
– Explaining the denial of your claim
– Attempting to find reason to pay the claim (rather than finding a reason not to)
– Being fair

As a claimant, your obligations are to:

– Submit your claim for benefits in a timely fashion
– Provide information requested by the insurer (if the company is entitled by law)
– Make a statement under oath
– Cooperate with the insurer in regards to your loss

If you have fulfilled your obligations to the insurance company and they are dragging their feet on your claim, denied your claim, or denied your appeal, despite your repeated written requests, they are dragging their feet on your claim and you need to hire a bad faith attorney.
