Good Hands,
I believe you are in error.
Fair Claims Practices and Bad Faith Claims Practices acts apply to insurers.
Fraudulent Claims apply to consumers and insurers alike. (in most states, Texas being an exception)
I know of no state law that states it is an insured's duty to assist in mitigating the value of a loss. Policy terms and conditions, to mitigate damage and further damage to property, yes, but state law on either value or further damage, no.
I would ask that you post some of these laws of which you speak for review, in that they are public documents.
