Bad Faith in Long-Term Disability Claims
On the other hand, many long-term disability claims are denied for unjustified reasons. Some are even wrongfully denied by an insurance company representative who knows the denial shouldn’t be done, which is called insurance bad faith. If this happens to you, then you should pursue legal action against the insurer right away because you are probably facing an uphill legal battle soon.
Examples of LTD insurance bad faith include:
- Denying a claim without providing any clear or valid reason.
- Intentionally taking as long as possible to handle a claim.
- Refusing to communicate with the claimant.
- Offering benefits that are lesser than what the claimant is owed.
- Threatening or otherwise verbally abusing the claimant.
- Changing a policy’s clauses mid-term.
When you suspect that your LTD claim has been denied out of bad faith, then try to save copies of any communications you have with the insurer. Emails, letters, texts, etc. should all be saved and copied, so your attorney can review them for evidence of insurance bad faith.
