Insurance Bad Faith Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Blecher & Collins represents corporations, business entities and individual officers and directors in obtaining defense, coverage or indemnification under general liability (CGL) and professional liability (E&O and D&O) policies. We have also counseled and defended insurance companies in coverage disputes and insurance bad faith litigation.

Through negotiation, arbitration or trial advocacy, our trial lawyers have successfully resolved conflicts and claims arising from:

  • Refusal to provide coverage
  • Bad faith denial of coverage (under pretense or technicality)
  • Refusal to defend policyholders against lawsuits
  • Exclusions or denial of full benefits
  • Excessive or unwarranted delays in paying claims

A lawsuit for insurance bad faith exposes the insurer to liability for the failure to fulfill policy obligations, including punitive damages. These are hard-fought cases that often hinge on technical interpretations of the fine print of an insurance contract, and our attorneys are skilled to undertake these cases.
