There Are Many Other Kinds of "Bad Faith".

     There are many other kinds of "Bad Faith".  For example, it has recently been held that there is a Duty inherent in the relationship which requires Good Faith or Fair Dealing, to reveal information requested by a tenant from a landlord on certain charges implicated in the lessee's option to renew the lease.  PL Lake Worth Corporation v. 99Cent Stuff-Palm Springs, LLC, (Fla. 4th DCA Case No. 4D06-1541)--link here.

     There are of course many standards of liability for violations of a Good Faith - Fair Dealing Duty in Settlement under liability insurance policies.  Familiarity with the applicable standards is crucial and can determine case outcomes.  See, for example, Download Dennis_Wall_Insurance_Law_Committee.Litigation and Prevention of Insurer Bad Faith Second Edition 3.1 Reprint of Third Party Claims.Settlement, 75 The Briefs 13, 2007.pdf.
