Case v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co.
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed suit for breach of an insurance contract and bad faith against State Farm, requesting punitive damages. The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's grant of summary adjudication in State Farm's favor, holding that plaintiff forfeited any contention of error regarding the breach of the insurance contract claim because she neither discussed the claim nor suggested that there were unpaid policy benefits. In regard to the bad faith claim, the court held that plaintiff raised no contention that State Farm improperly delayed arbitration under Insurance Code section 11580.2, subdivision (f). The court held that there were no triable issues regarding bad faith where State Farm acted reasonably in delaying payment of uninsured-underinsured motorist benefits.
