A Philadelphia judge has thrown out a Dragonetti Act lawsuit that an insurance company and claims adjuster brought after they were sued for allegedly failing to investigate a claim.

Plaintiffs Laurie DiPasquale and the Philadelphia Contributionship Insurance Co., which employed DiPasquale, had sued attorneys Margaret Kiely and Kevin Wright, alleging that they wrongfully sued her and the company for denying coverage for a claim, but Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Frederica Massiah-Jackson dismissed their case last week, finding that the underlying litigation had been reasonable.
