Arizona Third-Party Failure to Settle & Excess Liability

When liability exposure may exceed available limits, the insurer’s handling of a reasonable settlement opportunity can affect both the insured and the insurer.

  • Identify all primary, umbrella and excess limits.
  • Preserve settlement demands, deadlines and supporting evidence.
  • Document insurer responses and reasons for acceptance, rejection or delay.
  • Evaluate excess-exposure consequences under current Arizona authority.
