Bad faith insurance claims arise when an insurance company unreasonably delays, denies, or underpays a legitimate claim, violating its duty to act fairly and in good faith. In the context of personal injury cases, this can occur when an insurer refuses to pay a fair settlement for medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering after an accident. A bad faith attorney in Kansas City can help you recover compensation.

Examples of Bad Faith Insurance Claims
Examples of insurance companies acting in bad faith may include one or multiple of the following:
- Unjustified Denial: An insurer refuses to pay a valid car accident claim without a reasonable explanation.
- Delays in Processing: The insurer drags out the investigation or response time to pressure the injured party into accepting a lower settlement.
- Lowball Offers: Offering significantly less than what the claim is worth, despite clear evidence of damages.
- Failure to Investigate: The insurer does not thoroughly review medical records, accident reports, or expert opinions.
A personal injury lawyer can file a bad faith insurance claim against the insurer, seeking compensation beyond the original policy limits, including punitive damages in severe cases.
