A claim for bad faith generally arises out of the handling of some claim under the policy of insurance purchased by or for the benefit of the insured and issued by the defendant/insurer. As the burden of proof is generally placed upon the insurer, it is critical that the insurer selects a legal defense firm that is familiar with all aspects of insurance defense.
