What is a action?

short for "declaratory judgment action", also called "DJ". Usually involves an insurance carrier filing a separate complaint to determine if they should have coverage for a loss or not. (they sue themselves, and have the court/judge decide). It is a safer way for an insurer to deny a claim, leaving it less risky for any kind of bad faith allegation to be made by the insured.

What else can I help you with?
