In this case, Eastern District Chief Judge Sanchez states:
The Court will also dismiss [plaintiff’s] bad faith claim. There is no bad faith unless an insured party presents “clear and convincing evidence that: (1) the insurer did not have a reasonable basis for denying benefits under the policy and (2) the insurer knew of or recklessly disregarded its lack of a reasonable basis.” Rancosky v. Washington Nat’l Ins. Co., 170 A.3d 364, 365 (Pa. 2017). Cincinnati Insurance’s position is widely supported in the case law. Its denial of coverage was therefore reasonable and [plaintiff] has failed to adequately plead the elements of bad faith.
