What Is Insurance Bad Faith?

Insurance bad faith occurs when an insurer fails to honor its duty to act in good faith and deal fairly with policyholders. Examples include:


  • Unreasonable denial of valid claims
  • Failure to investigate a claim properly
  • Delaying payment without justification
  • Offering significantly less than a claim is worth


Our attorneys fight to recover not only the original policy benefits but also additional damages that may be available under Mississippi law.

  • What is a bad faith insurance claim?

    A bad faith claim arises when an insurance company unreasonably denies, delays, or underpays a valid claim without proper justification.

  • What damages can I recover in a bad faith case?

    You may recover your original policy benefits, additional compensation for financial losses, emotional distress, and in some cases, punitive damages.

  • How do I know if my claim was denied in bad faith?

    If your claim was denied without proper investigation, explanation, or clear evidence, it may be an act of bad faith. We can help review your case and advise on your rights.

  • Can I still pursue a claim if my insurer partially paid me?

    Yes. If the payment was significantly lower than the value of your claim and offered without proper justification, you may still have a bad faith case.

  • Do I need a lawyer to handle an insurance dispute?

    Insurance companies have teams of lawyers on their side. Hiring an experienced attorney gives you the best chance of recovering what you’re entitled to.

  • Is the consultation free?

    Yes. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and explain your legal options without obligation.
