QBE Insurance is a global insurance provider based in Sydney, Australia, and while clever advertising slogans might try to convince consumers of their dedication to their policyholders, many policyholders are discovering the opposite. QBE Insurance often grossly underestimates or wrongfully denies business insurance claims in the event of property damage.
Surplus Lines Insurance Abuse
QBE Insurance operates as a surplus lines insurer, which allows them to operate in a gray area of the market where they are not closely regulated. Because of this, policyholders are often left hung out to dry when it comes time to file a claim. The Texas Insurance Code makes it clear that all insurance companies, including QBE Insurance, are required to demonstrate a reasonable cause for denying the payment of a valid claim if the policy covers the property damage. When an insurance company fails to do this, they are operating in bad faith.
Other instances of operating in bad faith include:
- Claiming the property damage doesn’t fall under the policy
- Claiming the property damage is regular wear and tear
- Unnecessary delays in the claims process
- Failure to promptly pay claims
- False claims that the property did not meet code or maintenance requirements
All policyholders have rights under the law, and insurance companies sometimes infringe on these rights to help lower the number of claims they actually pay. Insurance companies have their own bottom lines, and representatives are often incentivized to save money by delaying, underpaying, and/or denying claims.
