BAD FAITH CLAIM DEFENDED


Partners Tim Lake and Chris Maile successfully defended an insurance carrier in a bad-faith case brought by an 83 year old plaintiff alleging the carrier had breached his homeowners insurance policy and committed bad-faith when it refused to pay a judgment against him of $235,000.00. As a result of some favorable legal rulings based upon coverage defenses asserted by the carrier and damaging testimony to the plaintiff's case by several early witnesses, plaintiff settled the case during trial, rather than face possible dismissal on a non-suit motion.
