Defendant's Attorney: Paducah, Kentucky insurance defense lawyer represented the Defendant.
This case was filed in the Christian Circuit Court, 22-CI-00820, and was removed to federal court.
"Insurers are required to honor the terms of the insurance policy and handle claims fairly and timely. However, many insurance companies will use tactics designed to drag out the claims process and payout less than they should on a valid claim.
Kentucky has laws designed to deal with bad faith insurance claims, including the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act and the Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act (UCSPA). Under these statutes, victims of bad faith insurance practices can recover compensation – sometimes significantly more than the actual value of their underlying insurance claim." Morgan Collins
