Third-Party Bad Faith

Reforming third-party bad faith laws will prevent abusive lawsuits that drive up insurance costs for everyone.

The Problem

Third-party bad faith lawsuits exploit loopholes in insurance law, pressuring insurers to settle frivolous claims quickly to avoid excessive penalties. These practices increase premiums for consumers and businesses alike.

ATRA’s Position

Reform bad faith laws to prevent misuse while preserving fair protections for legitimate claims.
