Contract and Insurance Disputes

Contract Disputes

Contract disputes arise when there is a disagreement over the interpretation of a contract’s terms. It may also arise when one or both parties have breached the contract in some way.

Bad Faith

Bad faith is acting dishonestly by not fulfilling legal or contractual obligations, misleading behavior, or entering into an agreement or contract without the intention of fulfilling it. The party may not have the means of fulfilling it. This may leave the other party in the contract responsible for expenses, in which they would have to file a lawsuit to recover. Be careful who you sign contracts with. Each year they cost business owners thousands, even millions of dollars.
