Clark v. Liberty Insurance Company, No. 3:18-cv-01925 (M.D. Pa. Dec. 10, 2018 Caputo, J.)
(an insured’s belief about a claims value that differs from the carrier’s
evaluation is not enough to state a claim without actual facts objective
supporting that belief; the failure to make a settlement offer after receiving
documents is not bad faith without additional factual support such as facts
pertaining to the complexity of the claim and the time that past between the
date the information was supplied and the date that the Complaint was filed;
the failure to submit to policy limits demands alone is not bad faith)
Moran v. USAA, No.
3:18-cv-02085 (M.D. Pa. Dec. 12, 2018 Caputo, J.) (general pleading delays on
the part of the carrier in various respects and failure to act in good faith
dismiss due to failure to plead supporting factual allegations).
Winslow v. Progressive Specialty Ins. Co., No. 3:18-cv-01094 (M.D. Pa. Dec. 12, 2018 Rambo, J.)
(conclusory allegations of bad faith lead to dismissal of Plaintiff’s Complaint
on claims of bad faith pertaining to delays by the carrier and failures to make
reasonable settlement offers or to pay the limits).
