Market Conduct Examinations

Claims examination reports are posted on the California Department of Insurance public website. Insurance companies operating in California must have a thorough understanding of the examination process and the legal and regulatory consequences of admissions and settlement terms. Barger & Wolen LLP has developed a ten-point process to educate and assist insurers in addressing the California Market Conduct Examination process, including preparing for the examination, discussing issues with examiners, understanding the difference between citations and violations, responding to referrals and responding to the examination report.

Our market conduct examinations attorneys also represent insurers in all regulatory or administrative proceedings, including disciplinary hearings, which may result from a market conduct examination.
