When an insurance company fails to uphold its end of an insurance contract by denying claims without a valid reason, policyholders may have legal recourse by filing an insurance bad faith lawsuit. These cases are often complex and require the expertise of an insurance bad faith lawyer.
Insurance litigation is a broad term that encompasses all legal disputes involving insurance companies. This can include claims for breach of contract, fraud, and bad faith. Bad faith insurance litigation is a specific type of insurance litigation that focuses on the insurance company’s conduct in handling a claim. In order to prove bad faith, the policyholder must show that the insurance company acted unreasonably and without ain denying the claim.
