Speaking Engagement - Michael J. Bidart
Michael Bidart will be speaking at the Insurance Bad Faith and Settlement Institute conference on August 27, 2009. He will discuss the “Current Trend of Punitive Damages in Insurance Bad Faith Cases.”
Name partner, Michael J. Bidart, of Shernoff, Bidart, Darras & Echeverria, Claremont, CA leads the firm's HMO Litigation and Property/Casualty Departments by successfully prosecuting bad faith disputes against insurers and HMOs. His efforts culminated in 1999 with the landmark $ 120.5 million verdict against Aetna over its refusal to pay for care recommended by the health plan's own physicians, the largest jury verdict ever rendered against an HMO. In State Farm v. Superior Court (1996), Mr. Bidart helped establish definitively that "unfair business practice" statutory liability applies to insurance companies in California.
