Case Number: 3:23-cv-02929
Judge: Sherri A. Lydon
Court: United States District Court for the District of South Carolina (Richland County)
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Columbia, South Carolina insurance defense lawyer represented the Defendant.
Description: Columbia, South Carolina insurance law lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued on a bad faith breach of insurance contract theory.
This case was filed in the Court of Common Pleas Richland County, 2023-CP-40-02629, and was removed to federal court by the Defendant.
South Carolina allows “Bad Faith” lawsuits involving first party insurance claims. “Bad faith” claims handling is really a misnomer. Lawsuits involving insurance companies paying late and not enough money should be called Lack Of Good Faith lawsuits. “Bad faith” only heightens the standard.
Outcome: Settled for an undisclosed sum and dismissed with prejudice.
