Johanna Dorsey v. Progressive Classic Insurance

Case Number:
12-1254
Case Issue:

Plaintiff appeals the circuit court's order dismissing her lawsuit that asserted bad faith regarding the defendant insurer's handling of a medical payments subrogation lien. The court held that as a guest passenger in the covered automobile, plaintiff was a third-party claimant, not a first-party claimant, and therefore could not pursue a common law or statutory bad faith case.
