Description: Columbus, Georgia insurance law lawyers represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendant on a bad faith breach of insurance contract theory.
This case was filed in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, 22-13916-AA, and was removed to federal court by State Farm.
When businesses enter into contracts, they have an implied duty to act honestly, in good faith, and fairly. When they do not, they can be sued for a breach of this duty. Here, we discuss this duty of good faith and fair dealings and bad faith claims in the business context and the insurance context.
State Farm policyholder can continue to litigate his claim that the insurer systematically undervalues totaled vehicles, the Eleventh Circuit ruled, finding that an appraisal dispute process outlined in his policy did not bar him from filing his proposed class action. 11th Circ. Revives State Farm Vehicle Valuation Suit
