Insurance Bad Faith Cases

The McClellan Law Firm has litigated many cases against insurance companies who have refused to settle or have engaged in improper or "bad faith" claims handling practices. One of the first cases was McKibbin v. Connecticut Indemnity, which arose out of a disputed homeowners policy. The jury awarded $1 million in damages, including $750,000 in punitive damages. The verdict was upheld on appeal.

In Henline v. Transport Indemnity Company, the insurance company with a $250,000 policy refused to pay a multi-million dollar judgment unless the plaintiff would release its insured. The McClellan Law Firm sued the insurance company and collected $5,250,000 in settlement.
