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
