FAQ

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.

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.

An example of a declaratory judgment in an insurance situation may occur when a policyholder and an insurer disagree about whether a particular claim is covered under the insurance policy. For instance, suppose a homeowner files a claim with their insurance company for damages to their home caused by a storm.

To bring a claim for declaratory judgment in a situation where a patent dispute may exist or develop, the claimant must establish that an actual controversy exists. If there is a substantial controversy of sufficient immediacy and reality, the court will generally proceed with the declaratory-judgment action.

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.

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.

How Declaratory Judgment Works. Any party to a contract may petition the court to clarify its rights and obligations in the event of a legal controversy. A court-issued declaratory judgment outlines the rights and responsibilities of each involved party. This judgment does not require action or award damages.

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.
