Description
1 This case raises one issue: Does an insurers duty to act in good faith and deal fairly with its insureds extend to a class 2 insured passenger covered by a named insureds uninsured motorist policy? The question is answered in the affirmative. Toby Townsend was a covered passenger in a car owned by Abner Penn and driven by his son Michael. Penns car was struck by a car driven by Lee. Lee had liability coverage up to $50,000, but Townsend incurred over $900,000 in damages from the collision. Townsend filed a claim with Penners uninsured (underinsured) motorist carrier, State Farm Mutual Insurance Company (State Farm) seeking the $25,000 policy limit amount.
