Pursuing a Bad Faith Action
Florida law states that you may have an action for "extra contractual" or bad faith damages if the insurance company has improperly handled your claim. These damages will be above and beyond what you are entitled to in your insurance policy. Once you have resolved your insurance claims dispute, only then can you proceed on a bad faith action. However, you must preserve your bad faith claim in order to be able to proceed with a bad faith lawsuit.
For this reason, it is important to have an experienced insurance law attorney involved from the beginning to protect and preserve your rights which could entitle you to damages after your claim dispute is resolved.
