Q: If my med bills

Can I get more for bad fath If my med bills was 600.000 and the insurance policy limit is 500.000 the umi is 500.000 shouldn't I have gotten 1.2
A:
A Washington attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. If you are represented by an attorney, she or he is really the only one suited to address your question. But as a general matter, a bad faith claim does not arise simply because an insurance carrier does not apply a given formula for computing an award based on some multiple of medical bills. There are many factors involved in determining an award. Good luck
