Idaho insurance basics

What the law expects from your insurer.

Idaho treats it as an unfair claim practice when an insurer, intentionally or often enough to show a general business practice, fails to acknowledge and act reasonably promptly on claim communications, or fails to affirm or deny coverage within a reasonable time after proof of loss is completed (Idaho Code 41-1329).
If an insurer fails to pay the amount justly due within 30 days after proof of loss and you later sue or go to arbitration, the court can order the insurer to pay your reasonable attorney's fees (Idaho Code 41-1839).
If you can't resolve a problem with your insurer, call the Idaho Department of Insurance Consumer Affairs line at 208-334-4250, or the consumer hotline at 800-721-3272 (Idaho Department of Insurance).
