Bad Faith
Insurance bad faith occurs when an insurance company fails to uphold its duty to act in good faith and deal fairly with its policyholders. This can include denying valid claims, delaying payment, or failing to provide adequate coverage. When an insurance company acts in bad faith, it can have serious consequences for policyholders who rely on their insurance to protect them from financial loss.
Coverage
We are highly skilled in policy interpretation, and insurers from across the globe have relied on coverage advice and interpretation from our attorneys. Receiving proper legal advice regarding the obligations, duties, rights, and remedies of the parties to an insurance contract is essential to successful risk management. Whether the policies at issue involve coverage for general liability, real property, casualty claims, errors and omissions, directors and officers, homeowners, auto, or specialty and contingency type coverages, our expertise and coverage opinions can save carriers from inappropriate defense and indemnity payments and shield them from potential bad faith or extra-contractual exposure.

I made the right choice! For those times when I have needed an attorney, hiring Mr. Strongin was the absolute smartest choice. I have found him to be up front and honest and he returns my phone calls in a prompt manner. This is one of the things that is important to me. He works relentlessly until the successful outcome of the case is reached. I am really happy the way Mr. Strongin has handled everything. I don't think anyone will ever serve you better then attorney, Eric Strongin.
