(a) In this section, "full payment" means payment of the full amount of a loss actually sustained on the occurrence of the contingency against which the insurance coverage is obtained, not to exceed the maximum amount stated in the policy. (b) A county mutual insurance company may not contest a claim: (1) only for delay or a captious or inconsequential reason; or (2) to force a settlement for less than full payment.
