Insurance claim dispute cases can come about as a result of a dispute with your Denver or Colorado automobile insurance carrier, your health insurance carrier, your home insurance carrier, your business insurance carrier, or your disability insurance carrier.
There are a number of different possible causes of action against the insurance
companies depending on the nature and extent of their conduct. The claims
can vary from a simple breach of contract to a breach of a fiduciary duty
and a bad faith claim. In the latter two instances, there may be a situation
where the breaching party could also be considered a fiduciary which means
a special relationship between the two parties which subjects the breaching
party to additional penalties. Furthermore, there are situations involving
insurance companies that they owe a duty of fair dealing to the insured and
a breach of that duty may subject them to a bad faith claim. Generally these
claims for breach of contract must be brought within 6 years from the date
of the breach. There are certain instances that there may be a shorter statute
of limitations depending on the type of contract involved.
