U.S. District Court Cites Insurance Law Chair Rich McMonigle's Insurance Bad Faith in Pennsylvania in Legal Decision

April 13, 2015

Insurance Law Chair Richard L. McMonigle, Jr.'s treatise, Insurance Bad Faith in Pennsylvania, was recently quoted by the Honorable Joy Flowers Conti, Chief United States District Judge for the Western District of Pennsylvania, in a legal decision, McMahon v. The Medical Protective Company, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 35131 (W.D.Pa., March 20, 2015). 

Noting that the law of insurance bad faith in Pennsylvania “has a somewhat torturous history,” Judge Conti quoted Mr. McMonigle’s book with respect to the legal standard applicable to third-party bad faith claims. 

Insurance Bad Faith in Pennsylvania, now in its 15th edition, examines every important issue relating to bad faith lawsuits under Pennsylvania's common law and under §8371 - Pennsylvania's "Bad Faith Statute." The treatise is published by American Lawyer Media (ALM).
