Examples of Deceptive Claims Settlement Practices

Insurance companies are known to engage in an array of different types of deceptive claims settlement practices. By being able to identify these acts by an insurance company, you will better understand when the time has arrived to seek legal intervention on your behalf.

One of the most common types of deceptive claims settlement acts by an insurance company is improperly delaying the settlement process. Every state has a set of laws setting forth the manner and timeframe in which different types of insurance claims should be settled. Like most claimants, you may not have any idea what these timeframes are in regard to your own claim.

Insurance companies engage in deceptive claims settlement practices to continually pushing back the settlement of claim by contending further investigation needs to be undertaken. Insurance companies also push back a settlement in an unlawfully manner by contending a review of the evidence is still ongoing. While there can be lawful situations in which these delays can occur, an insurance company oftentimes abuses the process by raising these contentions.

Insurance companies use these types of tactics to essentially wear you down as a claimant. Insurance companies drag the claim settlement process along to leave you in the position of believing you should take whatever you can get from an insurance company now, even if it is an amount far less than what you really are entitled.

An extreme version of a deceptive claims settlement practice is denying a claim outright, when that course of action is not supported by the actual facts of the case.
