Insurance Coverage Litigation/Counseling > Bad Faith/Extra-Contractual Liability Claims

MBT is experienced in evaluating bad faith and other extra-contractual liability claims asserted against insurers and in representing insurers in trials and appeals of bad faith actions involving, among other things: allegations of inadequate investigation; allegations of unreasonable failure to defend or indemnify; allegations of unfair or improper claims handling; allegations of unfair settlement practices or failure to settle; marketing; and underwriting issues. MBT lawyers are well-versed in defeating such claims and in limiting recovery of damages, including punitive damages and attorney fees. MBT lawyers represent insurers with respect to other extra-contractual claims, including claims involving loss control and risk management services; alleged conspiracy claims; alleged improper hiring or supervision of contractors; alleged breaches of fiduciary duties; alleged violations of insurance regulations; and alleged fraud and misrepresentation.
