Failure to Defend an Insured

In a contemporary insurance policy an insurance companies has the responsibilities to a policyholders to defend the insured against legal actions against them. If they fail to do this then it could be virtual financial ruin for the insured, and costs can quickly exceed millions of dollars. When you purchase an insurance policy, whether it’s home, auto, or other liability insurance, you do so with the peace of mind that the insurance company will help to defend and protect you against third party claims against you. If they fail to defend you, then it may be a form of insurance bad faith, and you may be entitled to compensation for your claim.
