Colorado’s Bad Faith Laws For Insurance Companies

According to Colorado law, insurance companies that act in bad faith can be penalized. For example, an individual injured in a car accident in Broomfield may be able to seek damages from the insurance company of the person who caused the accident if that insurance company acts unreasonably in delaying or denying the injured person's claim.

An insured individual may also seek damages against their own insurance company if they unreasonably delay or deny payment of a claim and the insurance company knew it was acting unreasonably. For example, this situation might arise in a home repair context, where the homeowner's insurance company unreasonably delays benefits for storm damage.

Colorado also has statutes in place to protect insured individuals from having their claims unreasonably delayed or denied by their own insurance company, and that also provide for specific penalties for an unreasonable delay or denial.
