POST-KOKEN SEVERANCE AND STAY DENIED, BUT BAD FAITH CLAIM BIFURCATED FOR TRIAL (Lackawanna County)

In keeping with its leading place in reporting post-Koken UIM bad faith law, the excellent Tort Talk Blog has summarized Judge Nealon’s opinion out of Lackawanna Common Pleas denying a motion to sever and stay bad faith claims, but ruling that the bad faith claim would be bifurcated for trial. The opinion gives a thoroughgoing analysis of these issues.

As always, thanks to Dan Cummins for his good work in keeping all of us up to date on these issues.
