FC&S Legal has published “Washington Court Holds Stipulated Covenant Judgment Sets Minimum Amount of Damages in Bad Faith Case” on our Eye on the Experts page.
In this article, Donald J. Verfurth, Sally S. Kim, and Stephanie M. Ries of Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP, discuss a recent Court of Appeals of Washington State decision that affirmed a jury verdict awarding $13 million in damages to a passenger injured in a car accident, finding that the $4.15 million agreed amount of the covenant judgment in the insurance bad faith case set a floor, not a ceiling, on the damages the jury could award.
