Insurance Bad Faith Claims

Summary

This practice note provides an overview of insurance bad faith claims, including the insured's rights under an insurance policy, claim triggers, and benefits of bringing a claim. To the extent that a jurisdiction's statutory law prescribes actions, omissions, delays, or business practices that can be the basis of a bad faith claim or requires a complainant to satisfy conditions precedent to a bad faith claim, they will be mentioned. Except to the extent that state-specific examples are given, this practice note is non-jurisdictional.
