Nevada statutes specifically list a wide range of activities that describe unfair practices and actions that can lead to insurance bad faith lawsuits against insurance carriers. Some of these improper actions include insurance companies:

• Misrepresenting facts of insurance policies
• Failing to acknowledge and act promptly in regard to claims
• Failing to make prompt and fair settlements when an insurance company’s liability has been made reasonably clear
• Offering unreasonably low payment and requiring insured persons or entities to engage in litigation to recover amounts due to them
• Advising someone not to seek legal counsel
• Misleading someone about the applicable statute of limitations affecting his or her claim

These examples are just a sample of the many actions that are specifically called out by Nevada insurance law. It is vital to seek the counsel of our legal team to ensure that all possible theories that may be present in your bad faith claim are adequately assessed.
