Bad Faith Cases

Bad faith cases are critically important to insurance companies because the potential exposure from a punitive damage claim can have a direct and immediate impact on their bottom line. Such cases require a particular skillset, including the ability to analyze complex legal and factual situations. With many years of experience handling insurance coverage claims, we routinely handle cases that involve the following issues:

  • Integrity of sophisticated claims handling procedures
  • Complex coverage issues
  • Attacks on the attorney/client and work product privileges, which are undertaken by plaintiffs in extra-contractual damage cases like no other case
  • Claims for punitive damages
  • Cases which deal with the honesty and integrity of insurance carriers and their representatives
  • Toxic torts
