Additional Notes
On October 30, 1999, Nannie Hager was injured in a motor vehicle accident. Months later, Ms. Hager passed away as a result of her injuries. ... Mr. Heavens then filed suit against State Farm alleging, in part, that State Farm had failed to promptly disclose the existence of the $50,000 State Farm policy and that State Farm unfairly refused to make a settlement offer from the $50,000 policy. The court ruled that the Hager family was entitled to the $50,000 in additional insurance. State Farm eventually settled the bad faith case for $393,000.
