While the essence of insurance is to hedge against financial losses caused by unexpected damages, there are instances when an insurance company fails to fulfill its obligations and duty of good faith. This instance, more commonly known as insurance bad faith, can happen in several ways, including an insurer’s misrepresentation of the contract or its failure to disclose specific policy scopes.
Insurance laws governing bad faith practices are innately complex, thus proving the elements of a bad faith claim can be tricky and challenging. Additionally, the increasingly dishonest tactics of insurance companies and third-party adjusters today highlight the need to proactively detect the red flags before they snowball into a massive financial damage and unnecessary headache.
Listen as highly experienced counsel Kenneth P. Williams (Segal McCambridge Singer & Mahoney) and Hillary N. Ladov (Goldberg Segalla) provide the audience with the latest and significant issues surrounding bad faith insurance litigation. Speakers will also provide practical strategies in a rapidly evolving legal landscape.
