About Colorado’s Insurance Bad Faith Laws

Under Colorado law, insurance companies can be penalized for acting in bad faith. For example, let’s say you are injured in a car accident, and the insurance company of the person who caused the accident unreasonably delays or denies your claim. You may be able to seek damages from that insurance company.

An insured individual may also seek damages against their own insurance company for acting in bad faith. For example, let’s say you filed a claim to make repairs to her home following a storm. If your insurance company unreasonably delays benefits due to you, they’re acting in bad faith.

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.
