QUESTION
Can I sue my insurance company for bad faith?
Asked on Oct 27th, 2016 on Insurance - Florida
More details to this question:
Can I sue my insurance company for "bad faith" they were aware that the driver who hit me payed her citations(admitted guilt) & they didn't submit that she paid her tickets as evidence in the arbitration. but yet I was still at fault for the case. I can't go after her anymore because they proved I was at 100 percent fault in an arbitration. But can I sue my insurance company for neglect and bad faith. They also didn't inform me that I could have appealed the arbitration if hey were in disagreement but they obviously was ok with the arbitrators decision because they didn't inform me that I could have appealed that in 30 days. Her citation was failing to yield right away. I had a green light turning let.

Why in Gods name were YOU in arbitration? Arbitration between insurance carriers is typically of ZERO consequence to your ability to file a lawsuit and have a court determine fault between you and the other side.That said, most of the time payment of a ticket is not admission of guilt as a matter of law.
