Defending Insurers Against Bad Faith Claims: Your Trusted Legal Partners
Insurance bad faith claims can pose significant challenges for insurers. These claims arise when policyholders allege that an insurer has unreasonably denied, delayed or underpaid a valid claim. At Lambdin & Chaney, LLP, we focus on defending insurers against these complex allegations, ensuring your interests are protected.
Our Approach To Insurance Bad Faith Defense
With extensive experience in the insurance industry, our attorneys and staff offer a unique perspective on bad faith and extra-contractual claims. We work diligently to limit our clients’ exposure to such claims and aggressively defend those asserted against them. Our deep understanding of the insurance landscape, from claim handling to extra-contractual defense, allows us to provide comprehensive and strategic legal support.
Proven Success In Defending Insurers
Our track record in insurance bad faith litigation demonstrates our ability to navigate these complex cases successfully. Here are some examples of our work in this area:
Water Damage And Mold Claim Defense
In a Boulder District Court case, we secured summary judgment on all five claims against our insurer client. The plaintiff sought damages related to the adjustment of a water loss complicated by mold and asbestos in her home. Claims included breach of contract, bad faith, violation of the Consumer Protection Act, negligence and outrageous conduct.
Multimillion-Dollar Mold Claim Victory
We obtained summary judgment on all claims against our insurer client in an Arapahoe County District Court case. The plaintiff sought over $5 million in damages arising from the adjustment of a mold claim, asserting bad faith and outrageous conduct.
Motor Vehicle Liability Dispute Resolution
In a Boulder jury trial involving a motor vehicle liability dispute, we secured a defense verdict on the bad faith claim against our insurer client. We limited the verdict on the uninsured motorist claim to $3,328.88, with the jury finding the plaintiff 45% negligent.
These cases illustrate our ability to handle a wide range of insurance bad faith claims, from property damage to motor vehicle disputes, consistently achieving favorable outcomes for our insurer clients.
Protecting Insurers’ Interests
We’ve successfully obtained protective orders limiting plaintiffs’ use of video depositions of insurance client representatives. These orders, secured over objections by plaintiffs’ attorneys in recent insurance bad faith cases, restrict the use of such depositions to the specific litigation in which they were taken, further safeguarding our clients’ interests.
