Connecticut is considering
legislation that would force insurers to handle claims more fairly. The
legislation would allow consumers to file lawsuits against insurers for
unfair claims practices. Presently, only the insurance commissioner is

argued, would force insurers to treat consumers fairly. Many states
have what is commonly called an Unfair Insurance Practices Act.
