Description: Birmingham, Alabama insurance lawyer represented Plaintiff, who sued Defendant on a bad faith breach of an insurance contract claiming to have suffered more than $75,000.
This case was initially filed in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, v-20-902613, and was removed to federal court by the Defendant.
The elements of a bad faith refusal case are: (1) an insurance contract between the parties and a breach thereof by
the defendant; (2) an intentional refusal to pay the insured’s claim; (3) the absence of any reasonably legitimate or
arguable reason for refusal; (4) the insurer’s actual knowledge of the absence of any legitimate or arguable reason;
and (5) if the intentional failure to determine the existence of a lawful basis is relied upon, the plaintiff must prove the insurer’s intentional failure to determine whether there is a legitimate or arguable reason to refuse to pay the claim.
