Bad Faith

How to Protect Your Company from Costly Arizona Insurance Bad Faith Claims

Navigating insurance law in Arizona presents unique and substantial risks. The courts permit bad faith liability for failing to advise an insured of policy provisions. They allow stipulated, unreasonable judgments when an insurer incorrectly denies a defense. An insurer can even be found liable for bad faith without ever breaching the insurance contract.

These doctrines create a dangerous environment for insurers. A simple claims handling dispute can quickly escalate into a case for punitive damages, threatening your company’s financial stability and reputation.
