Case Details
Louisiana Supreme Court ruled that an insurer's failure to inform its insured of a settlement offer within policy limits constituted bad faith, leading to a $150,000 judgment against the insured beyond policy coverage.
Additional Notes
The court found that the duty of good faith to an insured is broader than to a third party and that misrepresentations or failure to disclose 'pertinent facts' could constitute bad faith.
