Look at the other side. I have been in the Insurance Industry for over 20 years, and I have seen plaintiff attorneys file bad faith letters against Insurance Companies becuase the plaintiff attorney does not like an offer made to them.
When the plaintiff attorney makes an outrageous demand, is the plaintiff attorney acting in bad faith in respect to their client.
Not by any means is it bad faith. The answers always no unless you ask. The answer is simple, pay what you promise to pay in a timely manner and you wont have attorneys down your throat.
30 years in practice and I’ve never had a successful bad faith claims brought against a client. I don’t think anyone in my firm has ever defended a bad faith claim where the Plaintiff recovered. It’s just not a big deal in NH>

With health insurance claims not being paid due to mistakes. 90% of the time the insurance companies make the mistakes. Insurance companies are the reasons why healthcare is going downhill!
Insurance companies are not the catalyst. The reason healthcare is going downhill just like many other issues, is due to plaintiff attys who are always looking for a way to make money.
