Bad Faith Insurance Lawyer in Atlantic County, New Jersey
Bad faith insurance in New Jersey occurs when an insurance company unreasonably denies, delays, or underpays a valid claim. Under New Jersey law, insurers owe a duty of good faith and fair dealing to their policyholders. This duty is codified in the New Jersey Administrative Code and reinforced by case law from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division — Civil Part (Atlantic County). When an insurer violates this duty, you may file a bad faith insurance lawsuit to recover damages beyond the original claim amount, including emotional distress and attorney fees.
