Defense Against Bad Faith Claims Against Insurers and Businesses
Colorado Bad Faith Defense Lawyers
Many of the attorneys at Harris, Karstaedt, Jamison & Powers, P.C. represent insurers who have been sued for bad faith breach of insurance contract. Our firm has a long history of defending insurers against whom these claims are made and pursuing appeals involving such claims.
However, in every commercial contract there is an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing so it is possible to bring a bad faith claim in a commercial case. Several of the trial lawyers at our firm represent commercial clients in contract litigation involving breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
When a claim is brought against an insurer for bad faith claims denials, a separate claim of bad faith breach of contract is often brought against the third-party administrator. We also represent third-party administrators who handle claims on behalf of insurance companies and are therefore subject to the same standards as the insurance company.
We defend insurers and administrators in bad faith breach of contract suits involving:
- Health insurance
- Life insurance
- Property insurance: motor vehicle, homeowner's insurance,
- Professional liability
- No-fault claims (although Colorado's No-Fault Insurance Act is no longer in effect, we still handle claims resulting from that legislation)
- Workers' compensation claims
