Bad Faith Experts

"Bad faith experts" are persons hired (by either a plaintiff's legal team or a defendant's legal team) to state their views about a bad faith claim, in court or another setting. Insurance bad faith cases are often very complex, very contentious, and very labor-intensive; that is, it takes many people to unravel the conduct and circumstances surrounding an insurance company's performance. Insurance companies are rarely forthcoming about their practices, and they often fight allegations of bad faith quite vigorously.

The Expertise Needed in a Legal Setting

When an individual, a married couple or a family feels that their insurance company has misused or abused them, the best place to turn to is a law firm or solo attorney that has experience handling bad faith claims. Depending on the complexity of the case, that firm or attorney may in turn consult with or hire a bad faith expert, perhaps bringing the expert onto the team to testify in court, as litigation support.

This is in part because the law firm or attorney representing an individual cannot themselves testify on their client's behalf, but an insurance bad faith expert can provide testimony that support's the client's case. The expert can be called as a witness who will be questioned in court by the legal team that hired him or her, and in addition perhaps by the opposing counsel, and perhaps by the judge.

An Expert in One or More Types of Insurance

A bad faith insurance expert may be knowledgeable about one or more of the following types of insurance:

commercial/property
disability
earthquake
fire
health
homeowners
liability
life insurance
renters
title
uninsured/underinsured motorist
vehicle
Workers' compensation

Insurance Bad Faith Expert

In fact, many insurance bad faith cases do go to court for a trial — in contrast to the likelihood of other types of legal claims to be settled without the parties going to court. The presence of an insurance bad faith expert in a court case is often very helpful and persuasive in a courtroom setting, whether the case is being decided by a judge only or by a jury. The expert testimony may be one of the major factors taken into account by the judge or jury.
