Insurance Bad faith

At the very core of marine insurance is the doctrine of good faith.

Both insured and insurer have a duty of good faith to each other. The duty extends to insurance intermediaries such as brokers and agents.

The insured has a duty to be truthful at the time of submitting information in support of his application for insurance.

On the other hand, an insurer has a duty to act fairly, consistently and reasonably during the underwriting and claims process.
