A serious injury raises hard questions, and getting clear answers early protects your claim.
What Bad Faith Means
Insurers owe a duty to handle claims reasonably and in good faith. Unreasonably denying a valid claim, dragging out the process, or refusing to make a fair offer can cross the line into bad faith.
West Virginia's Unfair Claims Standards
West Virginia has standards governing how insurers must investigate and pay claims. Patterns of unfair conduct can give rise to additional legal exposure for the insurer.
Why It Matters to You
A bad-faith claim can sometimes recover more than the underlying policy would have paid, including damages for the insurer's misconduct. Documenting delays and unreasonable conduct preserves this option.
