Bad Faith Settlement

Princeton Insurance Co. has agreed to settle a bad faith claim for $20,000,000 for a tavern brought on behalf of a tavern that was found liable for $75 million in a Dram Shop Act case. The tavern assigned its rights to pursue the bad faith claim to the plaintiff in the original case after the insurer refused to settle for $1 million. The settlement is the largest to date in a Pennsylvania bad faith case.
