Bad faith is a specialized subset of insurance law focusing on claim handling on a first and third party basis. On a first party basis, if an insurance company is deemed to have handled a claim in bad faith, certain jurisdictions allow for payment of the insured’s attorney’s fees, as well as other damages, including potentially punitive damages.
