Third Party Bad Faith Reform – S.B. 165

Montana

Amends the state’s bad faith law to prevent a third-party claimant from bringing an action for bad faith in connection with the handling of an insurance claim.  A third-party may bring a claim for fraud if they have suffered damages from the handling of an insurance claim but it cannot be under any other theory or cause of action.
