What are common insurance policy disputes?

Insurance policy disputes can cover a wide range. Some of the most common – and most complicated – disputes involving insurance companies include:

• Policyholder rejects insurance settlement offer.
• Policyholder files a lawsuit against insurance company, including legal cases involving:
  • General liability claims (wide range of legal cases often involving legal action filed against a business)
  • Bad faith insurance claims (allegations that an insurance company did not act in the best interests of a policyholder)
  • Breach of contract cases (allegations that an insurance company violated the contractual terms of an insurance policy)
  • First party property claims (legal cases involving a policyholder (the first party) and an insurance company (the second party))
  • Third party insurance claims (legal cases involving an insurance company and someone other than a policyholder)

These are just a small sample of some of the legal cases involving insurance providers. Whatever the nature of the legal matter facing your insurance company, it’s important to consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible to explore the different legal options available in your specific circumstance.

How are such disputes resolved?

There are often many different ways insurance companies can resolve disputes involving policyholders or other insurance companies. Some of the methods for resolving such disputes include:

• Make a settlement offer to a policyholder or another insurance company.
• Hire a mediator or arbitrator to resolve the dispute.
• Defend the insurance company’s actions in court, particularly if a lawsuit has been filed against the insurance company.

In each one of these scenarios – and many more – an attorney familiar with the applicable state and federal rules and regulations governing insurance companies can mount a strong defense on behalf of the insurance company. That’s why it’s important to talk to an experienced lawyer familiar with this area of the law.
