Insurance companies have a legal duty under Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to act in good faith when handling your claims. This means they must promptly acknowledge your claim, conduct a thorough investigation, and pay or deny your claim in a timely manner (MCA § 33-18-201). Unfortunately, some insurers put their own profits ahead of your rights. They might try to undervalue your claim and offer a settlement far below what you deserve. They may deny valid claims without a reasonable basis, hoping you won’t challenge them (MCA § 33-18-201). Other bad faith tactics include unreasonable delays, demanding unnecessary paperwork, or using confusing language to mislead you.
