How Does the Insurer Know When They Have to Defend a Claim in Your Palm Beach County Accident Case?

If their insured has caused injury, they should have a duty to defend.  However, the insurer has to determine if the factual allegations/losses are covered by the policy.  Insurers should thoroughly investigate their claims to determine the validuty of coverage before denying a claim.  If they wrongfully deny a claim, they could be held liable in court and face a costly bad faith judgment.  Ultimately, the insurer's obligation to defend a lawsuit is determined by the allegations in the complaint aagainst the insured.  An experienced Palm Beach County car accident lawyer will knwo whether the insurance company is being unreasoanble and can set up your bad faith claim against the insurer.
