A: Insurance policies are contracts, and they must first be read in order to determine what coverage you have. However, if you properly file a claim, your insurer has an obligation to adjust your claim even if you are unaware of the extent of the claim or terms of coverage. This situation may become tricky and can be manipulated by an unscrupulous insurer because you are simply unaware of the coverage. Then the check you receive could be for less than what you are owed for compensation. In that case you could be a victim of a bad faith or an unfair insurance claims practice. Don’t hesitate to contact us and we can help you discover the coverage you have and seek the best coverage possible as specified in your policy.
