[Webinar] Time-Limited, Policy Limits Demand: Critical Issues Facing Insurers When Settling Third-Party Liability Claims

Join Goldberg Segalla partners Brady Yntema and Jeff Matty for an interactive webinar discussing critical issues facing insurers when presented with a time-limited, policy-limits demand to settle third-party liability claims against their insureds.

The discussion of this ever-evolving and difficult-to-navigate issue will involve jurisprudential trends concerning so-called “bad faith failure to settle” claims against insurers arising from their handling of time-limited demands, as well as "bad faith set-ups," and strategies for protecting insurers' rights to investigate and control the defense of claims while minimizing the exposure presented by such maneuvers.

• Insurance claims professionals — especially those handling third-party liability claims
• In-house attorneys

You Will Learn:

• How to evaluate whether a policy-limit demand is effective under state statutes or common law
• Evolution of, and differences between, state laws governing such demands
