WOMAN AWARDED $3.8 MILLION FOR INSURANCE BAD FAITH ACTS—CALL SAN JOSE EXPERIENCED ATTORNEYS NOW (Part 1 of 2)
Insurance bad faith claims may be hard for individuals to take on without the help of an experienced attorney. Insurance companies hire large law firms and have a lot of resources and may run the other party in circles. The delay in the lawsuit may cause the parties to spend extra money and resources, which the insurance companies may be able to afford but the insurance policy holders may not be able to afford.
In 2003, Debbie Daniels was scheduled to undergo a hysterectomy by her doctor, David Lee Grims, who also suggested that she have the tummy tuck operation done as well. Unbeknownst to Daniels, Grims was not trained to perform tummy tucks and had been kicked off the staff of another hospital previously for performing the tummy tucks. As a result of the surgery, Daniels was left permanently disabled and sued her doctor. Grims was defended by his insurance company, who only proposed to settle with Daniels for $75,000 two years after the incident even though the company’s own records showed that her damages were worth more than $1 million. Eventually, Daniels had to settle with the insurance company for $650,000 but reserved the right to sue them for bad faith because of the settlement delay. The Jefferson Circuit Court jury in Kentucky awarded Daniels $3.8 million because it found that the insurance company acted in bad faith by delaying her payment even though it knew that its client, Grims, was responsible.
