Snyder v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding the insurer did not act in bad faith in making a settlement offer based on its estimate of the value of the insured's claim because no evidence indicated the estimate was unreasonable
• dismissing plaintiff’s ITPA claim against an insurance provider and noting “the appropriate channel for [p]laintiff's assertions that State Farm violated [the ITPA and other statutes] would have been an administrative complaint through the Department of Insurance”
• finding no bad faith where UIM insurer's settlement offer was reasonable
• “The law certainly does not require every insured with UIM coverage who has initiated an action against an at-fault driver to receive a settlement offer for some money. The reality is that some claims would be frivolous, and insurers must have the ability to protect their own interests.”
