Most people purchase insurance for various reasons, for example, health, life, car and medical insurance. When insurance is purchased, the purchase is required to pay monthly premiums on time in order to be covered in case something happens. There are some instances when an insurance claim is denied or disputed for not being of a good reason; this is called ‘acting in bad faith’. When this occurs, an insurance claims and disputes lawyer in Cyprus is necessary in order to represent the individual or business with regards to the act of bad faith.
