Q: Would like to have a Bad Faith and Fair Dealings lawyer contact me
My Insurance Company breach our policy by refusing to thoroughly investigate Claims
A: What is your question? If you are asking if you have a case, I would need the entire story. Failure to investigate, by itself does not make for a bad faith case. There has to be damages caused by the insurance company's unreasonable claims handling.
A: An insurance company that fails to thoroughly investigate a claim on behalf of its insured may be acting in bad faith. If you sustained damages as a result of your insurance company's failure to thoroughly investigate a claim on your behalf, you may have a case against them. However, all the facts and details must be reviewed by a lawyer to make such a determination.
