Homeowner’s Insurance Bad Faith
Let the Team at Denver Trial Lawyers ® Handle Your Case
Homeowner’s insurance is a critical part of home ownership. In the event something catastrophic happens, having a policy that can back you up and provide you with the funds to rebuild and replace that which you have lost can be an invaluable investment.
However, homeowner’s insurance companies are not always as reliable and trustworthy as they may proclaim themselves to be—when you’re waiting for your settlement but your company seems to be in no rush to give it to you, you may be the victim of insurance bad faith.

Insurance companies are required by law to adhere to the policies they sell, and that means handling your claim with good intentions and no undue burden. However, because insurance companies are businesses, they exist to make money. The more they have to pay out, the smaller their profit margins. So to try and reduce their financial liability, these companies will sometimes resort to underhanded tactics to try and get their claimants to accept smaller settlements and keep profit levels high.
Here are four signs you may be the victim of insurance bad faith:
- Long, unnecessary delays in your claim
- Poor communication or inability to contact your insurance company
- Lowball settlement offers
- Unnecessary or repetitive paperwork requirements
- Refusal to pay, even after a settlement has been agreed upon
It’s perfectly normal to expect paperwork and at least some delays when filing a homeowner’s insurance claim, but these particular matters are more prone to these underhanded tactics because of the sheer size and value of how much a claim can cost.
If a home suffers catastrophic damage, such as a fire, flood, or collapsed roof, repairs can cost tens of thousands of dollars or more. This is magnified even more after a major disaster, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or tornado, when a lot of claims will be pouring in all at the same time.
By doing what they can to lower their financial responsibility to pay for these claims, this insurance keeps their profit margins padded and their business successful, often at the expense of homeowners who need them the most.
