Some insurance companies even go as far as making verbally abusive comments toward clients or harassing them in hopes of them dropping the claim.
If the insurance company was especially malicious or fraudulent in handling your claim, some states allow you to file punitive damages. Punitive damages are punishable to the insurance company and force it to pay additional damages for failing to comply with insurance laws. Without punitive damages, insurance companies are encouraged to practice bad faith.
