FC&S Legal is pleased to announce that we have begun publishing a Bad Faith Compendium by lawyers at Nelson Levine de Luca & Hamilton on our Eye on the Experts page.
In this compendium, the firm reviews more than a dozen states where bad faith issues most often arise and provides a synopsis of pre-litigation claims-handling standards, first- and third-party claim issues, insurance company defenses, procedural and discovery issues, and the scope of damages. The series begins with a review of bad faith law in California, one of the country's most volatile jurisdictions for insurance companies. The authors of this week's installment are William O. Krekstein and Michael S. Savett, partners at Nelson Levine de Luca & Hamilton.
