While there is no strict time limit because claims and cases can vary, an insurance company is required by Kentucky insurance law to investigate a claim with reasonable promptness and diligence and to pay the claim when liability or coverage is reasonably clear.  A failure to do either can constitute a bad faith insurance practice and a violation of the Kentucky Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act.
