INSURANCE BAD FAITH Homeowners and small businesses repeatedly face considerable hurdles when trying to get their insurance claims paid. If a homeowner or business owner believes he has an insurance problem, having a lawyer on your side is the most useful method. As an insured in Florida, you have a contract with your insurance company under your insurance policy. As a result of your relationship with your insurer, you are owed a fiduciary duty by your insurance company, which requires the insurance company to act in good faith in handling your insurance claim. Your insurer also has certain duties under the Florida Insurance Code to properly handle your claim and pay your claim timely. If your insurance claim has been denied or underpaid or wrongfully handled, you may have certain causes of action against your insurance company. We routinely represent insureds like you in cases involving Breach of the Insurance Policy, Violations of the Florida Insurance Code and Breach of the Duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing an insured is owed by the insurance company under the insurance policy.
