   This is a tricky question, but the answer is typically yes. but before you get that far your policy likely contains requirements that before your suit can go forward, you must agree to an arbitration first. All policies are  not created equally, but I am both an agent and a purchaser of my own personal insurance and have had my own issues with a couple of carriers. My suggestion to you is that before you hire a lawyer to file a civil action you avail yourself of services that don't cost you anything. If you have not been treated well an Insurance Department may offer a better way of approaching the issue than an attorney. Typically an attorney for a plaintiff  will charge as much as 30 to 40 % of a settlement and they will be unlikely to pursue the small stuff. Insurance departments in the 50 state have jurisdiction over the company's actions and filing. It often will get a much quicker response from an insurer too.
