To prove SC bad faith insurance claims, you must establish:
- The insurance company failed to honor the policy
- The insurance company had no reasonable cause not to pay the amount due
Bad faith insurance claims in SC can arise from a variety of circumstances, including:
- Failure to promptly and adequately investigate an insurance claim
- Denying or withholding insurance benefits without cause
- Delaying an insurance payment longer than necessary
- Underpaying or undervaluing an insurance claim
- Using language deemed unreasonable when translating an insurance policy’s language
- Refusing to settle and/or reimburse a claim unfairly
- Canceling an insurance policy unfairly.
SC Bad faith insurance claims and unfair claims settlement go together. Unfair claims settlement occurs when an insurance company consciously does wrong.
Unfair claims practices may be the result of:
- Fraud
- Deception or Misleading
- Neglect or refusal to fulfill the contractual obligation
