Abstract

The passage of the Insurance Fair Conduct Act (IFCA) marks a further chapter in the development of remedies for insurance bad faith in Washington. The purpose of this article is to trace the development of this body of law in Washington and compare Washington law to the law of bad faith in other jurisdictions. In addition, the law of insurance bad faith claims illustrates a continuing dilemma in the application of tort law to relationships that originate in a contractual relationship.
