Successful Bad Faith Conduct Settlement

Colorado law requires insurance companies to promptly and fairly investigate and pay valid claims. Our client suffered significant financial harm after an insurer unreasonably delayed their motor vehicle accident claim.

Following a crash, our client’s insurer and affiliated auto shop delayed inspection and payment of the vehicle for months, forcing our client to incur extensive rental vehicle costs and other out-of-pocket expenses. Despite clear indications that the vehicle was a total loss, the insurer did not make that determination until more than six months after the accident.

Through a detailed pre-litigation demand outlining the insurer’s bad faith conduct and the resulting damages, Edmund and Cherami resolved the matter without litigation, securing a significant settlement for our client.
