Insurance companies lose money every time they pay out on a claim. Although many people trust that the insurance companies will handle their claims fairly and give them a fair settlement, the truth is that not many insurance companies do this willingly. Many people start the insurance claim process on their own expecting tings to go smoothly from start to finish. When their claims are unfairly denied or they suddenly stop getting their payments that had previously been approved, they don’t know what to do.
If your claim was unfairly denied or if your payments were suddenly stopped, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit against the insurance company – specifically for bad faith.

About State Farm Insurance
State Farm is, without a doubt, one of the most recognized names in the insurance industry. State Farm is the largest provider of auto insurance in the U.S. Many people know State Farm because of their unique commercials and because of “Jake from State Farm.” Many people gravitate towards this insurance company when shopping for insurance because they genuinely believe that they can trust them with their claims. The truth is that insurance companies, even State Farm, often get away with taking advantage of claimants and not paying out accident claims.

What is Insurance Bad Faith?
Insurance bad faith occurs when insurance companies fail to handle claims effectively. According to California Law, insurance companies have a duty to investigate claims, process claims, and pay claims fully and promptly. They also have a duty to be fair with claimants at all times.
If you can relate to any of the following statements, then your insurance company is likely acting in bad faith:
- State Farm is not paying for my medical bills after my accident.
- State Farm is not paying for my hospital bills after my accident.
- State Farm is not paying for my urgent care bills after my accident.
- State Farm is not paying for my chiropractor bills after my accident.
- State Farm is not paying for my physical therapy bills after my accident.
You might also be asking yourself can I sue? Yes, you could sue for insurance bad faith. Of course, bad faith can be most obvious when there is a denial of coverage (i.e., when the insurance company won’t pay bills for your treatment), but bad faith can look different from case to case.
Additional examples of bad faith include the following:
- Failing to respond to the insurance claim
- Denying insurance policy benefits
- Failing to explain denied claims
- Misrepresenting the facts of the incident
- Misrepresenting the policy
- Not investigating or processing the claim promptly
- Refusing to reach a fair settlement
- Making unreasonably low settlement offers
- Purposefully misleading claimants
Additionally, if the insurance company is taking too long to pay or if they stopped payment for medical care after already approving it, this could also be considered to be bad faith.
