Bad Faith Insurance Laws in Nevada

Insurance companies are expected to act in good faith when handling claims, but there are key laws in Nevada that protect policyholders when insurers fail to uphold their responsibilities.

1. The statute of limitations for bad faith claims is four years.

In Nevada, you have four years from the date of the alleged bad faith insurance act to file a legal claim. It’s important to act quickly, as delays can limit your ability to hold the insurer accountable for their actions. If you believe your insurance company has acted in bad faith, contact Harris Nevada Law promptly to protect your rights.

2. Insurers have a duty to act in good faith.

Under Nevada law, insurance companies must handle claims fairly, promptly, and without unreasonable delay. Denying a valid claim, failing to properly investigate, or offering far less than what is owed may constitute bad faith. Harris Nevada Law has the experience and resources to navigate the complexities of bad faith insurance cases and help you seek the compensation you deserve.
