When Insurance Companies Fail to Handle Claims in Good Faith
Insurance companies in Louisiana are required to handle claims fairly and in good faith. When an insurer unreasonably delays, denies, underpays, or mishandles a valid claim, the dispute may involve more than the value of the underlying loss.
Ketry Law Firm, LLC represents policyholders across Louisiana in insurance bad faith disputes.
We review the insurance policy, claim history, estimates, payments, communications, and insurer conduct to identify potential delays, misrepresentations, underpayments, wrongful denials, and other claim-handling issues.
When an insurance company fails to meet its obligations, Ketry Law works to hold the insurer accountable and pursue the remedies available under Louisiana law.

COMMON PROBLEMS
Common Problems /
Warning Signs Your Insurance Claim May Involve Bad Faith
• Your insurer repeatedly delays inspections or decisions
• You receive no clear explanation for a claim denial
• Important damage is ignored or excluded from the estimate
• Coverage is described differently than the policy language
• Communications go unanswered for long periods
• You are pressured to accept a low settlement
• Undisputed portions of the claim remain unpaid
• The insurer repeatedly changes its explanation or position
• Your claim remains unresolved without a reasonable explanation
These issues do not automatically establish bad faith, but they may justify a closer review of the insurance company’s conduct.

Important Information /
Louisiana Insurance Bad Faith Laws
George Ketry’s materials identify two Louisiana statutes as important in insurance bad faith disputes:
Louisiana Revised Statute 22:1892
George’s materials state that this law addresses timely claim payment, prompt adjustment, and arbitrary or capricious delays.
Depending on the facts of the claim, violations may result in additional remedies beyond the amount originally owed.
Louisiana Revised Statute 22:1973
George’s materials identify this statute as imposing a duty of good faith and fair dealing and addressing conduct such as misrepresentation, unjustified delays, improper denials, and failure to properly investigate.
Potential remedies may depend on the specific insurer conduct, policy language, proof of loss, damages, and applicable law.
Because every insurance claim is different, the policy, claim record, payment history, communications, and insurer conduct should be reviewed individually before determining whether a bad faith claim exists.
