Bad Faith Litigation Law Firm, Perdomo Law in Manhattan New York, NY
Life does not always go as planned. The problems are sometimes errors in planning or a mistake made by someone else. Victims may suffer financial distress and other complications related to the incidents. Some failures happen because of intentional actions. A business partner, employer, or someone else acts in bad faith. Those who suffer from financial losses or reputation damage because someone willfully chose not to follow through with an agreement can pursue litigation to recover their losses.
What Does Bad Faith Mean in Legal Terms?
Legally, bad faith occurs when someone intentionally fails to follow through with their obligations as detailed through a contract or as a duty of their position. A Bad Faith Litigation Law Firm will not file these claims for a client who suffered due to a mistake or negligence. The problems must arise because the other entity intended to cause the complications. Bad faith claims can also arise out of lawsuits filed using false accusations and done only to cause harm to the defendant.
When Would a Bad Faith Conflict Arise?
Bad faith claims can arise in various situations. An investment firm knowingly giving inaccurate advice could cause someone to need a Bad Faith Litigation Lawyer. Insurance companies that refuse to pay for legitimate damage claims covered under a current policy have committed an act of bad faith. Unfair lawsuits, business partners who do not follow the terms of contracts, and employees who take a job only to harm the company from within are examples of bad faith.
What are the Benefits of a Bad Faith Litigation Attorney?
Hiring a bad faith attorney can help plaintiffs save money because they often resolve issues through arbitration rather than waiting to go into the courtroom. Arbitration is usually faster because it allows an impartial entity to review written arguments from each side and decide on the case. Everyone involved in the litigation must agree to accept the decision for arbitration to take place.
Skilled lawyers also determine if the case is legitimate and not a matter of negligence or another legal issue. Plaintiffs cannot win a bad-faith lawsuit against individuals who were negligent but acted without malice. Hiring a legal team with experience in this type of lawsuit ensures the claim's validity to avoid the excess cost and lost time on a case that will fail.
Attorneys can also do things people may struggle to achieve alone. Law firms can research the defendants to look for earlier examples of their malicious behavior.
The team will know what their client needs for proof to win the case and will do all they can to gather enough material to prove their client's statements.
When Should Defendants Hire a Bad Faith Litigation Attorney?
An attorney that understands bad faith complaints can sometimes be the best choice for defendants facing an unfair lawsuit against them. A defendant can become a cross-complainant and counter sue during the same case.
A bad faith counterclaim can occur when someone falsely seeks damages for any claim. Typically, the plaintiff will not have proof of their statements. Or the defendant may have evidence that shows that the plaintiff or witnesses lied about the incident.
An employer, for example, may become a cross complainant if an employee files a frivolous lawsuit for damages related to work-related injuries they never experienced. A counterclaim may seek to have the charges in the case dismissed. They may also request the original plaintiff cover the legal costs and related expenses of the frivolous lawsuit. Law firms that offer representation for bad faith litigations have teams capable of defending their clients against frivolous claims and pursuing compensation for damages.
What Should you Know Before Hiring a Bad Faith Litigation Attorney?
People should always use caution when hiring an attorney. Any case can fail if the lawyer does not present the evidence necessary to prove the case to the court. Always choose a law firm that meets all the requirements.
