FAQ
A declaratory judgment like any other judgment is reviewable on appeal. In Andrew Robinson Int'l, Inc. v. Hartford Fire Ins.
A declaratory judgment is a binding judgment from a court defining the legal relationship between parties and their rights in a matter before the court. When there is uncertainty as to the legal obligations or rights between two parties, a declaratory judgment offers an immediate means to resolve this uncertainty.
A declaratory judgment is a ruling of the court to clarify something (usually a contract provision) that is in dispute. A summary judgment is a ruling that a case or portion of a case must be dismissed because there are no triable issues of material fact in dispute.
Another reason for insurers to pursue a declaratory judgment is that it allows the insurance carrier to “set the table” for the litigation. The insurer gets to tell their side of the story first and introduce key aspects of the dispute to their advantage.
Declaratory judgments are frequently sought in the insurance context, either before or after a claim has been denied. Unlike an injunction, which orders a party to take certain actions, a declaratory judgment simply defines the legal relationship between the two parties under the insurance contract.
The court would then interpret the contract and define the rights of both parties, offering a legal resolution without the need for a traditional lawsuit. Declaratory judgments are powerful because they provide clarity without requiring one party to be in breach of a contract or to have committed a legal violation.
Typically, the initial burden of proof falls on the person filing the claim. You must demonstrate two things to succeed in a bad faith lawsuit: 1) Benefits due under the policy were withheld and 2) The reason for withholding benefits was unreasonable or without proper cause.
Typically, when filing a declaratory judgment action, insurers seek an adjudication of both their duty to defend and their duty to indemnify, because the duty to defend is broader than the duty to indemnify and, if insurers do not have the former duty, then they typically do not have the latter duty, either.
Your insurance company client wants to file a declaratory judgment action to determine whether the insurer owes coverage to one of the defendants in a civil lawsuit.
