In another volume,
we discussed the insurance company's obligation to act in good faith, and the
consequences if they do not. Baltimore personal injury or accident lawyers are
well aware that the insured person likewise has to act in good faith with
regard his or her obligations under the policy. The insured person must notify
the carrier of a possible claim, provide all relevant information, and
cooperate [e.g. show up at trial, respond to discovery]. The penalty for not
doing so is a "disclaimer" of coverage. Baltimore personal injury or accident lawyers know that before a carrier can unilaterally decide not to
cover its insured, the must show that the were harmed by [legally: suffered
prejudice] by the bad faith of the insured.
