Description
West Bend Mutual Insurance Company appeals from a judgment against it following a jury determination that West Bend breached its contract with its insured, Peter Dregne, and acted in bad faith. The jury awarded Dregne $25,000 in compensatory damages and $40,000 in punitive damages. West Bend claims that the trial court erred in deciding that: (1) Dregne did not have to offer expert testimony to prove his bad faith claim; (2) that there was credible evidence to support the jurys finding of bad faith; and (3) that there was credible evidence to support the jurys award of punitive damages. We conclude that the trial court did not err and therefore affirm.
