Live in Person hours at SC Bar Conference Center, 1501 Park Street, Columbia, SC 29201.
Join the South Carolina Bar CLE Division on Friday, January 24, for a video replay seminar of a program we first offered in Charleston in early 2023. This important program covers topics addressed in the first comprehensive book on insurance bad faith in South Carolina, Insurance Bad Faith: The Law in South Carolina. Distinguished faculty, representing both the plaintiff and defense perspectives, will provide discussions including a primer on insurance bad faith; third-party claims and damages (Tyger River); the objectively reasonable standard for an insurer’s good/bad faith; first-party claims and damages (Nichols), as well as other first-party claims relating to long-term care, disability, life insurance and other non-auto claims; standing needed to bring a claim; procuring assignment of third-party claims; insurance defense counsel’s perspective; discovery from insured/assignee’s and insurer’s perspective; and a roundtable discussion on default judgment, insurance bad faith, and the role of personal counsel, and ethical issues.
Principal Authors: David B. Yarborough, Jr. and Reynolds H. Blankenship, Jr.
Contributing Authors: Molly H. Craig, James B. Hood, and Virginia R. Floyd

Insurance Bad Faith: A Primer on the Law in South Carolina is part history, part primer, and part practice guide. Starting with the seminal case of Tyger River Pine Company v. Maryland Casualty Company, the book goes through the evolution of third-party claims of bad faith, the eventual recognition of first-party claims in Nichols v. State Farm, and everything since. The first 12 chapters of this 17-chapter book address the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of this nuanced field of law, including fundamental concepts such as standing and the causes of action available against an insurance carrier, as well as the analyses that the courts employ in evaluating bad-faith claims in various scenarios. The final 5 chapters provide more practical guidance on developing and litigating the claim, including an excellent chapter from the contributing authors on the role and ethics of insurance-defense counsel when the insurer and insured are in conflict.
