Legal defense is crucial for scrutinizing claims, distinguishing between legitimate and unfounded ones, and safeguarding the insurer's interests.

First-party bad faith claims present another significant challenge in Florida's insurance defense arena. Bad faith occurs when an insurer is alleged to have failed to fulfil its contractual obligations to the policyholder, such as by improperly denying a claim or delaying payment. In Florida, bad faith claims have become increasingly common, often involving substantial financial exposure for insurers. Defense attorneys must be vigilant in identifying potential bad faith claims early in the litigation process. Pre-emptive strategies, such as thorough claim investigations and clear communication with policyholders, can help mitigate the risk of bad faith allegations. Once in litigation, defense attorneys must craft robust defenses to demonstrate that the insurer acted reasonably and within the bounds of the policy. Taking the time on all claims and identifying all issues early on is the motto. What mantra’s do you implement in your handling of claims? Lucosky Brookman LLP – Relationship Focused.
