Our attorneys have extensive experience handling insurance bad faith cases and were involved in some of the landmark cases interpreting Pennsylvania's bad faith statute, 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 8371. Building on that foundation, we have developed an ability to prosecute claims to collect loss sensitive (including retrospective) insurance premiums and in defending claims of professional malpractice and bad faith that are often asserted as counterclaims by the delinquent policy holders. These premium disputes are complex and the stakes are sometimes very high. These matters require a mastery of actuarial science, claims adjusting procedures, insurance regulations and bad faith law. Often these cases involve tens of thousands of pages of documents, countless depositions and numerous expert witnesses. Efficiency can only be achieved through creative case management and litigation solutions. The controlling law is still evolving, and almost every case presents an opportunity to break new legal ground.
