Additionally, as per Louisiana Revised Statute §22:1973, insurance companies in Louisiana are typically mandated to act in good faith and fair dealing when reviewing and servicing a claim as well as when they are in communication with their insureds. Based on this law, insurance companies are generally legally and ethically obligated to review and either accept or deny claims in an efficient and timely manner. They may also be required to put forth a reasonable effort in resolving claims. If they do not, a claimant could hire a Louisiana ERISA life insurance lawyer and pursue legal action.

Examples of how insurance companies could act in bad faith are generally based on guidelines laid out by ERISA as well as state statutes in Louisiana. These may include:

In most cases, though, an insurance company may not be held responsible for acting this way unless a claimant takes action. The best way to take action may be to hire a qualified attorney to represent you in the matter. Contact a seasoned Louisiana ERISA life insurance lawyer who could help advocate on your behalf.
