Bad Faith Insurance Dispute
Our client was left defenseless when a defendant’s insurer failed to respond to a valid claim, breaching its duty to defend and indemnify under the terms of the policy. The denial was not only unfounded but followed by total silence from the insurer, despite multiple good-faith attempts to resolve the issue. This blatant inaction placed the client in severe financial and legal jeopardy, warranting a strategic legal response.
The Outcome:
We secured a $3 million default judgment against the defendant. Following the judgment, our team initiated supplemental proceedings to enforce collection against the insurer. This result sent a clear message to insurers about the cost of ignoring their contractual responsibilities.
Creative Legal Strategy:
Many firms may have accepted the insurer’s non-responsiveness as a dead end. Instead, we identified a powerful procedural opening, leveraging the insurer’s failure to respond prior to a default judgment. By carefully documenting all communications and fast-tracking the judgment process, we transformed silence into a multi-million-dollar win.
