Workers’ Compensation Claims May Be Denied In Bad Faith By Insurance Companies
When you are injured on the job and your employer has workers’ compensation insurance, the insurance company cannot unreasonably delay or deny your benefits. Iowa insurance companies are required to act in good faith and provide benefits in a reasonably prompt manner. If an insurance company fails to accept a valid claim for benefits, unreasonably delays making a coverage determination, or unreasonably delays or denies your worker’s compensation benefits, the insurance company may have acted in bad faith and you may be entitled to damages.

When an insurer fails to act in good faith regarding a workers’ compensation insurance policy, you can bring a bad faith lawsuit against the insurer.
