Policyholders pay premiums for financial security as set forth in their insurance policy. Insurance policies are considered a contract between the insurer and insured. Insurance companies must honor that contract and act in good faith towards their customers, the insured. After all, the insured has honored its end of the agreement by paying premiums to that insurance company.
