It is a common practice for an insurance company to investigate the facts to determine whether to deny a claim or pay compensation.
If the claim is denied, the reason for the denial will determine whether or not there are grounds for suing the insurance company for bad faith.
Prior to filing a lawsuit for bad faith if your claim is denied, it would be advisable to contact your state's insurance commissioner.
