Event Synopsis:
Most insurance policies have at least two liability-related assurance by the insurer: the duty to indemnify and the duty to defend. Bad faith occurs when an insurance company breaches these duties without reasonable basis. To avoid potential risks and exposures from bad faith claims, it is critical that insurers take certain steps that will not compromise their rights and responsibilities if a coverage dispute occur.
In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the risks for insurers on a bad faith insurance litigation claim. The speakers will help the audience recognize and mitigate these potential risks.
Key topics include:
• Introduction to Bad Faith Claims
• The Insurer's Duties to Indemnify and to Defend
• Termination of the Duty to Defend
• Reservation of Rights and Declaratory Judgment Actions
• Strategies in Defending a Bad Faith Suit
• Implications and Damages of Insurance Bad Faith Claims
