Download or read book Public Policy Considerations Concerning Insurance Bad Faith and Residual Market Mechanisms written by Chad G. Marzen and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As insurance bad faith liability has evolved in the past four decades, liability for bad faith has not stopped with private insurance companies. In a number of states, state-sponsored insurance entities have been established to provide insurance coverage in residual markets where it is generally otherwise unavailable. The question of whether first-party insurance bad faith liability should be extended upon a state-run property insurer is an unresolved one in many jurisdictions. This paper contributes to the contemporary literature regarding bad faith in insurance by comprehensively analyzing the history of, the nature of the claims associated with, and public policies concerning the imposition of bad faith liability upon state-run property insurers. This paper makes its contribution by arguing that courts should not impose first-party bad faith liability on state-run property insurers who operate in the residual property insurance market.This paper begins by providing an overview of the role of residual insurance market entities of the state and federal governments. The second and third parts of the paper discuss the Oubre v. Louisiana Citizens Fair Plan case of the Louisiana Supreme Court and the Citizens Property Ins. Corp. v. San Perdido Assoc., Inc. litigation in Florida and their applicability concerning the immunity issue.The final part of the paper analyzes the policies and issues surrounding the holding of bad faith liability upon state-run property insurers. The first section of the final part examines the public policy considerations of reported cases which have addressed whether a state insurance guaranty association can be held liable for insurance bad faith claims. State insurance guaranty associations provide an appropriate comparison with state-run property insurers since bad faith claims have also been proferred against them. The second section of the final part discusses the policy rationales behind the bad faith remedy and the specific issue of the relationship between bad faith awards and assessments which are typically levied on most insurers. Finally, examining the case of Florida in particular, this paper examines the arguments concerning legislative intent on the conferral of immunity.

Download or read book The Effects of Third party Bad Faith Doctrine on Automobile Insurance Costs and Compensation written by Angela Hawken and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2001 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of whether an automobile accident victim should be allowed to bring a claim for punitive damages for unfair settlement practices against another person's liability insurer Ü a so-called third-party, bad faith suit Ü has become an important policy concern. This book examines the compensation that automobile insurers paid to accident victims in California during a period, 1979 to 1988, when such punitive damages claims were permitted. This book looks at the effects of the adoption and subsequent rejection of the Royal Globe doctrine, which allowed third-party bad-faith suits, on compensation and costs of bodily injury claims. The authors find that the adoption of Royal Globe triggered sharp increases in both the average bodily compensation payment and the relative frequency of bodily injury claims in California relative to the other tort states. In contrast, the elimination of Royal Globe dramatically reversed these trends.
