Insurance litigation arises from legal disputes between policyholders and insurance companies, often centering on issues such as coverage disputes, claim denials, and allegations of bad faith.
The primary parties in insurance litigation are policyholders and insurers. However, the complexity of cases can lead to the involvement of third-party claimants, insurance brokers, and reinsurers, each with distinct interests and objectives.
Coverage disputes occur when there’s a disagreement over the interpretation of policy language, exclusions, or the application of specific clauses. Claim denials happen when insurers reject claims, asserting that the circumstances fall outside the policy’s coverage. Bad faith claims involve allegations that insurers have not dealt fairly and honestly with policyholders during the claims process.
Insurance litigation undergoes a multifaceted legal process. This includes scrutinizing policy documents, investigating claim facts, and applying relevant laws. Dispute resolution methods range from negotiation and mediation to arbitration or formal litigation in court.
Given the intricate nature of insurance litigation and its potential financial implications, both policyholders and insurers often seek legal representation.
