Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation Attorneys in Iowa

Overview

Insurance is available for almost any situation in life. As a result, insurance coverage issues arise in a broad range of areas including auto, life, health, disability, business, property and casualty, and workers compensation. Individuals and businesses purchase insurance to protect their interests and select their coverages based on their particular needs with the help of agents and/or insurance company representatives.

When claims arise, our attorneys have assisted both insurance companies and individual insureds in examining the applicable provisions and evaluating whether coverage applies. Based on our evaluation, we issue coverage and/or reservation of rights letters on behalf of insurers and make demands for coverage on behalf of insureds. When informal efforts are unsuccessful, we have zealously represented both insurers and insureds in coverage and bad faith litigation.

Coverage determinations sometimes lead to litigation over the applicability of the policy and scope of coverage provided. Insurance Company representatives make decisions daily based on the evidence in front of them. Based on investigation findings and applicable policy language they may decide not to pay or not pay a claim or suspend the claim investigation. Sometimes when their clients (insureds) are unhappy with a coverage decision, they may claim that the insurer acted in bad faith when denying coverage. Bad faith claims raise the potential for coverage beyond the policy limits and punitive damages. Consequently, when defending against bad faith claims, experienced legal representation is critical.
