For the Kentucky Bad Faith Lawyer: Kentucky Supreme Court Holds UCSPA Continues to Apply During Litigation
Lloyd Knotts and Jackie Knotts v. Zurich Insurance Company, et al.
Reversing the Court of Appeals, Justice Roach wrote the majority opinion which holds that the insurer's obligation to comply with the Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act, and duty to act in good faith, continues throughout litigation. However, the court did hold that conduct by the defense lawyer cannot be used to support allegations of bad faith and is strictly inadmissible.
Kudos to Lee Sitlinger and Larry Franklin for this very important opinion!
