Suing a company for bad faith is a complicated question. Each state has different requirements for proceeding with a bad faith cause of action. I recommend that you contact an attorney in your local area who specializes in first party insurance issues. He/she will be able to explain to you whether you have a case against your insurance company.

Why has it taken 3 months comprehensive insurance to pay you for theft?

Theft claims are typically investigated more than any other type of auto insurance claim. Unfortunately, the insurance company is not going to tell you what they are investigating. Most states require that the insurance company send you a letter every 30 days, letting you know the status, but don't count on that being specific either. If you feel the company is not acting in good faith, you might want to seek legal assistance. Otherwise, contact the insurance company and find out what they need to speed things along.

Do you have to have a general contractor to get overhead and profit from the insurance company?

No, there are plenty of laws and regulations that address overhead and profit. Contractors charge it and insurance companies pay it. That's the nature of the beast. The insurance company that doesn't pay it is not only an exception to the rule but runs the risk of breach of contract and bad faith lawsuits as well as sanctions by insurance departments. There has been much litigation against insurance companies that mess around with overhead and profit, including several class action lawsuits against major insurance companies.
