In California if an insurance company does not treat their own policy holder fairly, their policy holder in addition
to making a claim for benefits under the policy, may in some instances bring a claim for bad faith against their own insurance company.
Punitive damages are amounts awarded to punish and deter malicious, fraudulent or oppressive conduct. The purpose of
punitive damages is to punish or make an example of and more importantly to deter conduct of the wrong doer in the future.
Our office has been involved in many claims where we have recovered substantial amounts in excess of the contract benefits
being wrongfully withheld under the policy for first party policy holders. However, an insurance company's failure to pay benefits does not automatically
entitle the policy holder to extra contractual damages or punitive damages.
If you are having a problem getting benefits paid under an insurance policy, please call our office toll free at 1.888.227.2771 for a free consultation.
