Insurance Disputes Laws in Connecticut.

Connecticut insurance disputes can involve denied claims, unfair claims practices, coverage fights, and regulatory complaints. Connecticut insurance regulation lives in Title 38a of the Connecticut General Statutes and is enforced by the Connecticut Insurance Department. Connecticut recognizes both statutory unfair-claims-practices violations under CUIPA and common-law bad-faith claims.
