Several months ago, Senior U.S. District Judge Robert F. Kelly of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania provided some insight and important analysis of bad-faith delay claims. In the case, Tomer v. Allstate, plaintiff Nancy Tomer filed a bad-faith claim against Allstate arising out of Allstate's handling of her UIM claim. The claim included cognitive brain injury claims and some additional injury claims, including a claim of three fractured teeth made almost three full years following the accident. In addition, Tomer made claims of psychiatric injury as well.
