Bad Faith Litigation is the term used to describe a situation where an insurance company responsible for settling a personal injury compensation claim is unwilling to do so because they consider the claim is fraudulent in some way.
This may be because they do not believe that the accident happened as the injured person has described or perhaps that they feel the injuries are not as severe as described and are being deliberately exaggerated.
Instances of bad faith litigation are quite rare as most personal injury compensation claims made are completely genuine and straight-forward, meaning that the insurance company involved will normally settle the claim without it even being necessary for the matter to progress as far as court.
