In this episode you will learn:
- Failing to acknowledge and act promptly on claim communications is a prohibited unfair practice.
- Insurers must conduct a reasonable investigation before denying a claim; refusing to do so is a violation.
- Knowingly misrepresenting policy provisions or pertinent facts to a claimant to avoid payment is illegal.
- Compelling a policyholder to sue by offering substantially less than what a claim is worth is an unfair settlement practice.
- An insurer must provide a reasonable and specific explanation for any claim denial based on the policy.
