Description

Lance Powell was electrocuted on property owned by Great Western Lumber Company (Great Western). Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company (Lumbermens) was Great Western's primary insurer, and First State Insurance Company (First State) provided Great Western's excess liability coverage. After a jury awarded Powell's family $2 million, Lumbermens tendered its policy limits to First State for payment. Believing that Lumbermens had badly mishandled the claim, First State sued alleging bad faith, negligence, misrepresentation, and a violation of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA). The trial court dismissed all of the claims except bad faith, ruling that the negligence and bad faith claims were the same cause of action and First State lacked standing to raise a CPA claim. The jury found Lumbermens' conduct did not rise to the level of bad faith and returned a defense verdict. The trial court denied First State's motion for Judgement notwithstanding the verdict or in the alternative a new trial.
