I see three types of practices that can be termed as 'bad faith practices' by the insurers.
Insurance companies may either delay paying for the claims, deny paying them or may opt for illegal discounting. If your insurer breaches the good faith covenant, he might be sued for damages that are punitive as well as real and consequential. Roddick

Whistler - are you talking about bad faith by the insurer, or insurance against acts of bad faith against you by employees of your business?

I know that sort of cover as Fidelity Guarantee. Provides cover against theft, embezzelement or other inappropriate activity by employees /partners whhich has an adverseeffect on the business.

There is no bad faith "insurance"... The OP is either wanting to know about bad faith committed by an insurer, (and how much you can get for that :roll: )..which is WAY too broad a subject without more information...or maybe wondering about an E & O policy which still would'nt cover bad faith.

Unless you are an attorney, you will probably need to obtain one in order to have any chance of winning a Bad Faith claim.

whistler Tcope is correct, (as always :wink: ) you're going to need an attorney to purse a bad faith claim.

Investigating Insurer Bad Faith is my business but I need more information to properly answer this one. If you'd like, you can email me with it.

You need an attorney, for sure. You didn't give us specifics to create a scenario. Bad faith is a very tough legal issue. I doubt that you'll get an attorney to take a case on contingency, but that's just my opinion...without knowing facts. Many times, if your insurer is balking at paying a claim, during a settlement conference, you can jack them up a little on "bad faith"...but you sure need to have a case.
