MoreLaw Legal News For Raleigh





In North Carolina like many other states, the law requires insurance companies to treat people fairly. When an insurance company acts unfairly, deceptively, or puts its own profit ahead of the rights of its policyholders in a manner that is unlawful, it is called bad faith. An insurance company that is sued for bad faith in North Carolina could be made to pay to the policyholder all amounts due under the policy, as well as punitive or multiple damages and other relief.
