Bad Faith Insurance Demands in Car Accident Cases

Bad Faith Insurance Demands in Car Accident Cases

Every day, Illinois is the scene of car accidents. It shouldn't surprise that Illinois has about 6,000,000 car accidents each year. Insurance companies have a strategy and know what to do to block or withhold fair compensation from the victims. How can we stop this from happening? Continue reading to hear Brent Eames, a top lawyer who discusses a powerful tool for injured victims to defeat unreasonable insurance companies.

Illinois law allows injured victims to prove to an insurance company that they could not settle their claim within their insurance policy limits. This is called a bad faith case. In a case of clear liability, where an insurance company has a $25,000.00 policy maximum, and the victim has more than $50,000 in medical bills, it should become evident that the victim's claim is worth much more than the $25,000.00 policy. As part of a settlement agreement, the insurance company should be willing to give over the entire policy. If the insurance company fails to pay the policy limit within a reasonable time, it could be considered bad faith by a court.

Unreasonable actions by an insurance company when they have a reasonable chance of a liability verdict exceeding the policy limit can put their insured at severe risk. They are inflicting a breach of their duty to good faith on their insured by failing to settle a claim within their policy limits.

We can help you set up an insurance company to cover a bad faith claim if you hire a skilled car accident attorney. Specific case law and language must be referred to if you wish to show that an insurance company failed to act in good faith. To document every instance where the insurance company could have resolved the case in good faith, it is essential to keep a record. Insurance companies are under more significant pressure to pay these claims promptly if they receive time limits.

Insurance companies are generally required to protect their insureds' interests and their own. This objective standard is not subjective, and a court reviewing the case will consider all relevant factors. These factors could include liability disputes, reasonableness, and necessity for related medical expenses or pain and suffering.
