The insurance company offered me far less than my medical bills. Is that bad faith?

A lowball settlement offer is one of the most common signs of potential bad faith. If the insurer’s offer bears no reasonable relationship to the documented value of your injuries — your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs — that offer may reflect a bad faith evaluation of your claim. Georgia law requires insurers to evaluate claims fairly and in good faith. An offer designed to take advantage of a claimant’s financial distress rather than to reflect the actual value of the claim can constitute bad faith.
