Re: insurance
A bad faith claim is brought against a third party insurer. Usually this is the defendant or person causing the accident.
There are several aspects to bringing a bad faith claim. Improper settlement of damages is the focal point. Administration of the claim itself may give rise to an action of bad faith.
In Maryland you cannot bring a bad faith claim against your own insurer. This would be a breach of contract action in Maryland.
