Insurance Company's ''Bad Faith''

At what point can it be deemed that an insurance company has or is committing bad faith?

If an insurance company denies any liability for over 2 years and the accident was a real ''no brainer'' could this be called bad faith,due to the fact that they did not do a thorough enough investigation(or adequate,for that fact) and are required to make a reasonable offer within a reasonable time?

it has to be within the context of an action.

It must be before an excess judgment is entered.
