Bad Faith

We handle bad faith litigation for insurance carriers throughout Colorado and Wyoming. Our attorneys are known for providing strategic advice and in-depth insight into the tactics commonly employed in bad faith litigation, allowing carriers and adjusters to better prepare for discovery disputes, depositions, and trial. This practice area has been a mainstay of our firm since its founding more than thirty years ago, and we are recognized leaders in defending insurers against these claims.

Our attorneys have been at the forefront of developing and advancing novel legal arguments, shaping the permissible scope of discovery, and limiting the nature and breadth of claims pursued by plaintiffs. We have extensive experience defending a broad range of bad faith claims, including those involving uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, medical payments (MedPay) coverage, personal and commercial property damage, hail damage, and first- and third-party claims.

We are particularly well known for defending statutory unreasonable delay and denial claims brought under C.R.S. §§ 10-3-1115 and 10-3-1116, as well as common law bad faith claims involving allegations that an insurer acted unreasonably and with knowledge of, or reckless disregard for, the unreasonableness of its conduct. Our practice also regularly addresses issues arising under the Unfair Claims Practices Act and the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. We combine deep legal knowledge with practical litigation experience to protect insurers’ interests at every stage of litigation, from early case strategy through trial.
