Cara Knight and Jackie Booker obtained summary judgment in favor of an insurer on plaintiff’s common law and statutory bad faith claims. The UIM insurer investigated the claim and declined to pay benefits because plaintiff was likely more at fault for the accident. The insurer filed a motion for summary judgment on Plaintiff’s extra-contractual claims arguing Plaintiff could not establish that the insurer acted unreasonably in violation of an industry standard. The Court ultimately held that no reasonable jury could find that the insurer unreasonably decided liability adversely to Plaintiff and dismissed the bad faith and unreasonable delay and denial claims.

Katie Johnson and Rachel Jennings obtained a favorable verdict in an admitted liability case on behalf of a large retailer. Plaintiff sought over $1,000,000 in economic losses for past medical expenses and wage loss, and future wage loss for the claimed inability to return to work. The jury awarded $30,157.57 in past medical expenses and wage loss, and $0 for noneconomic losses or physical impairment. Because the plaintiff failed to beat the retailer’s pre-trial offer of settlement, judgment was entered in favor of the retailer for trial costs.
