Bad Faith Claims:
            I will save you the time of reading Georgia codes regarding the handling of claims in bad faith...

33-4-6:  Liability of insurer for damages and attorney’s fees

33-4-7:  Affirmative duty to fairly and promptly adjust in incidents covered by motor 
vehicle liability policies; actions for bad faith; notice to Commissioner of 
Insurance and consumers’ insurance advocate

33-6-33:  Improper claims settlement practices

33-6-34:  Unfair claims settlement practices

....and cut to the chase.  Insurance companies are legally required to act in good faith.  Insurance claims, i.e. total loss and diminished value claims, have to be settled promptly, accurately, and fairly.  Failure to do so can lead to legal action and penalties for failing to adhere to this strict code of conduct.

            If you feel like you have been treated unfairly call us to discuss it.  If it is determined that bad faith practices have occurred you may consider hiring an attorney.  Prior to making that decision, you should consider filing a complaint to the Insurance Commissioner's office of Georgia.  The complaint must be filed in writing and can be done by clicking on the link below.
