- Excerpt from District of Colorado Sinks Insurer’s Motion for Summary Judgment on Bad Faith Claim Where Insurer Allegedly Failed To Timely Investigate Available Coverage for Boating Accident:

- Insurer’s motion for summary judgment denied where insurer waited for nearly two years to pay medical benefits to claimant who lost her leg in a boating accident. On June 19, 2012, Janice Guyaux–Mitchell was floating on an inflatable kayak on Lake Powell in Utah. The kayak was tethered by a rope to a houseboat. As Ms. Guyaux–Mitchell was floating off the houseboat’s stern, a powerboat backed into the kayak, shredding the kayak and severing Ms. Guyaux–Mitchell’s left leg below the hip.
