1 CLE Credit Applied For
CLE Addressing the End-Stage of the Bad Faith/Statutory Delay or Denial Case
- Trial tactics in non-bifurcated trial to offset bias against insurers (e.g., how to present adjuster's "evaluation" and handling of claim in best light possible, and to educate the jurors on role of adjuster)
- Pros and Cons of taking position that “entire claim file” should be an exhibit; are letters from plaintiff’s counsel really “business records” of carrier?
- Reptile and similar tactics - what to watch for and how to combat them (e.g., "my client has paid insurance premiums for years, and the one time she needs the benefit. . . ")
- How to identify and develop a "bad guy" for trial from a defense perspective
- Arguments for and against non-stock jury instructions by plaintiff and defendant (including "fairly debatable" instruction, time period of BF claims, etc.)
- Verdict forms and the order of questions on the forms
Thank you and hope to see you there.
