Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a workers’ comp claim “bad faith”?
A claim crosses into bad faith when the insurer knowingly or recklessly mishandles it—such as ignoring medical evidence, failing to investigate properly, or intentionally delaying payments.
Why should workers’ comp attorneys refer these cases?
Bad faith claims require civil litigation experience, discovery tools, and trial readiness that many workers’ comp practices don’t emphasize. Partnering with us ensures clients receive complete representation.
Does RCMS Law handle only the bad faith portion of the case?
Yes. We step in for the civil bad faith litigation while allowing workers’ comp attorneys to continue handling the underlying injury claim. This preserves the client relationship for the referring attorney.
