"Without bad faith and the need to act in a reasonable way, there would be no reason for the insurance companies to pay you early," host Dirk J. Derrick, Esq. explains in this episode devoted to reasonableness and bad faith protections. Speaking with Pearl Carey, on the firm's professional staff, Dirk reveals how insurance companies leverage time, money, and uncertainty to compel claimants to accept  less than their cases are worth. Through insights from his experience and hundreds of focus groups, he demonstrates why bad faith laws protect not just plaintiffs but also policy holders who could lose everything when insurance companies gamble with their assets.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
