Insurance Coverage, Bad Faith & Regulatory Litigation

Stites & Harbison is well equipped to advise insurers and insureds on a complete range of coverage, regulatory and alleged "bad faith" issues. Our firm's attorneys include a former general counsel and director of market conduct and enforcement for a state insurance department.

Stites & Harbison is at the forefront of defending insurance companies in class actions by policyholders alleging unfair business practices. Recent experience includes defending a national insurer in a class action pending in Seattle, and defending another carrier in high-profile coverage and bad faith litigation arising from a deadly school shooting in Paducah, Ky.

We also have extensive experience in representing insurers in regulatory litigation. We assist clients in rehabilitation, liquidation and other wind-up of affairs, market conduct and financial examinations, rate and form filings, consumer complaints, mergers and bulk reinsurance transactions, holding company act filings, re-domestications, and numerous other regulatory matters. Representative clients include major insurers in all lines, individual agents and both local and national brokerage firms, premium finance companies, TPAs, health maintenance organizations, and dental service companies.
