Joann Enrique, Plaintiff Below, Appellant v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., Defendan — Strine, J…

Summary

The dissent would hold that the record contained sufficient evidence for a reasonable jury to find that State Farm acted in bad faith in evaluating and settling Enrique's claim. It emphasized State Farm's internal claim valuations, its settlement offers below those valuations and the policy limits, Enrique's economic vulnerability, and unresolved credibility questions. The dissent would reverse the Superior Court's grant of summary judgment. Chief Justice Strine, joined by Judge Danberg, disagreed with the majority's conclusion that the evidence was insufficient for trial.
