A federal judge has dismissed a couple's bad faith claim against Liberty Mutual Insurance Company stemming from a flood that damaged their home.

U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania granted Liberty's motion for partial summary judgment against Steven Barnwell and Bambi Stettler.

The plaintiffs claimed Liberty withheld payment of insurance coverage, but Beetlstone said the company paid out what was owed under the policy within the appropriate time frame.
