The state Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether an insured tortfeasor can assign bad-faith claims against his insurance carrier to the injured plaintiff.
The question was posed to the justices by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit following differing decisions out of the Eastern and Middle districts of Pennsylvania. In a one-page order in Allstate Property and Casualty Insurance v. Wolfe, issued April 24, the Supreme Court agreed to consider whether assignment of the claims is allowed under 42 Pa. C.S. Section 8371.
