Beware the Demon of Bad Faith: Protecting Utmost Good Faith 2025

Join the LMA to learn about the doctrine of bad faith and the components of bad faith allegations in both the first party and third-party context.

This seminar will teach delegates:

• about the doctrine of bad faith and the associated risks and penalties in the US
• how to recognise common mistakes opening the door to allegations of bad faith
• how to minimise the risk of a bad faith finding.

If you handle claims in the United States, you will face allegations of bad faith – guaranteed! This seminar will give you an overview of the steps to take to lessen the risk and how to ensure your claims handling file demonstrates that the claim has been properly handled.
