Dallas, Texas bad faith breach of insurance contract lawyer represented the Plaintiff.


This case was filed in the 95th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, TX, DC-22-17398, and was removed to federal court by State Farm Lloyds.


In Texas, bad faith insurance is when an insurance company acts in an unethical or deceptive way when dealing with a policyholder's claim. Some examples of bad faith include:

Unreasonable delays: Intentionally delaying a claim in the hopes that the policyholder will drop it
Misrepresentations: Lying about the policy, claims process, or coverage
Withholding information: Refusing to provide documents or information about the claim
Unfair settlement offers: Offering a settlement that is less than the claim is worth
Denying valid claims: Denying a claim without a reasonable explanation
Failing to investigate: Refusing to investigate the claim or doing so in an improper way
Threatening tactics: Using threatening or abusive tactics towards the policyholder

The Texas Insurance Code prohibits bad faith conduct by insurance companies. Policyholders can take action against bad faith practices and seek fair settlements. The statute of limitations for bad faith claims is two years

Outcome: Settled for an undisclosed sum and dismissed with prejudice.
