Bad Faith No More: New York Courts Shift the Insurance Paradigm

In this episode of Don't Take No For An Answer, Lynda A. Bennett and Eric Jesse discuss two New York cases that mark a turning point in allowing policyholders to pursue bad faith claims against their insurers. The cases shift New York law in favor of policyholders by lowering the bar for policyholders to bring bad faith claims and holding insurers to higher accountability standards. Bennett and Jesse advise policyholders to document all communication with their insurers to establish a strong record of bad faith in these complex cases.
