"Bad faith insurance describes a claim that an insured person has against an insurance company for its unlawful and i nap propriate claims handling actions. Because an insurance company owes a duty of good faith and fair dealing to the people and businesses it insures , people who believe that an insurance company has not acted fairly and in good faith may have a claim against the insurance company for common law bad faith and statutory violations. In Texas, the Texas Insurance Code also provides the rules for how insurers must treat policyholders." Abraham Watkins
