Understanding Unfair Claims Practice

“The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has created a model of unfair claims practice legislation that mandates claims be handled fairly and that there be clear communication between the insurer and the insured. States, not the federal government, regulate insurance; many jurisdictions have implemented unfair claims practices laws modeled after the NAIC's model act.”
