1 sentence

2012That refusal occurred after August 5, 2008, and it alone would be sufficient to establish liability under the Statutes if the jury credited the testimony given in plaintiff's case-in-chief. 1381 A plaintiff is not required to elect between consistent remedies, see Newland v. Holland, 624 P.2d 933, 935 (Colo.App.1981), and need not assert every fact that may be in his favor when any one of several claims is sufficient to prevail.

2012In a first-party claim, "the insured 'is asking for payment under the terms of the insurance contract between him and the insurance company, and the insurance company owes [the insured] a duty to adjust his claim in good faith.'"

Aetna Casualty & Surety Co. v. McMichael green

2 sentences

2024Aetna argued that McMichael's UM/UIM claim was precluded by an exclusion in the policy for "[a]ny obligation for which the 'insured' or the 'insured's' insurer may be held liable under any workers' compensation . . . law." Id. at 99-100 .

2024We rejected Aetna's claim, explaining that the WCA "does not bar McMichael from bringing a tort action against the driver who caused the accident," id. at 100 n.7 (citing § 8-41-203), and that the UM/UIM benefits 21 McMichael sought through his suit against Aetna "substitute for benefits that [he] would have received from the motorist who caused his injuries," id. at 100.

Hill v. DeWitt green
colo · 2002
1 sentence

2012The trial court here acknowledged as much by denying plaintiff's motion seeking to add a common law bad faith claim because the two actions involved "different standards." Denial of that motion also underscores the fact that common law bad faith is not at issue in this appeal. 136 Although plaintiffs UIM claim was filed and processed in part before the Statutes took effect, it does not necessarily follow that defendant was held retroactively liable for "transactions or considerations already past," DeWitt, 54 P.3d at 854 .

2011However, Levy's reliance upon section 18-21-101 and USAA v. Parker, 200 P.3d 350 (Colo.2009), is misplaced.

2011While prejudgment interest on a UM/UIM claim should be calculated at nine per cent per annum, see Parker, 200 P.3d at 358-59 , the determination of whether prejudgment interest should be added to an award of damages in an arbitration is for the arbiters to decide.
