Tom Segalla, a nationally recognized authority on bad faith, reinsurance, and insurance coverage, and co-author of the renowned insurance law treatise Couch on Insurance, identifies trends and strategies policyholders and plaintiffs employ in bad faith cases. Tom also examines six particularly sensitive situations that may subject an insurer to extracontractual liability. In analyzing these issues, many of which involve settlement demands, Tom outlines his thoughts on how those circumstances should each be addressed by insurers, especially when confusing jurisdictional issues are present.
