As a result of our expertise in Insurance Law, we are frequently called upon to assist clients in matters involving insurance coverage or “bad faith” allegations. “Bad faith” is an insurance claim by an insured that is wrongfully denied by the insurer. An insurance policy contract requires that the insurer act in “good faith” toward you. When an Insurer unreasonably withholds the benefits of the policy from its Insured, it is considered to be in “bad faith.”

- Duty to pay judgments & settlements
