Underinsured Motorist Benefits • First-Party Motorist Benefits • Bad-Faith Claims
Dehoyos v. GEICO, PICS Case No. 16-0260 (C.P. Monroe Dec. 23, 2015) Williamson, J. (5 pages).
The dismissal of plaintiff’s claim for underinsured motorist benefits barred her claim for bad faith based on the denial of that claim but disputed factual issues regarding her claim for first-party motorist benefits precluded summary judgment dismissal of her bad-faith claim based on the denial of those benefits. Defendant’s motion to dismiss bad-faith claims granted in part, denied in part.
