Chateau Chamberay Homeowners Association v. Associated International Insurance Co.
Year: 2000
Court: California Court of Appeal, 2nd District, Division 3
Case Number: B137320
Insurance companies should not be allowed to escape liability simply by hiring an expert. As a matter of law, the insurance company must conduct a fair and thorough investigation or whether or not it has acted in bad faith is a question of fact, and not law.
UP’s brief was written pro bono by Arnold R. Levinson, Esq., Terrance J. Coleman, Esq. of Pillsbury & Levinson, LLP, and Amy Bach, Esq.
