Court Denies Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend Complaint to Include Bad Faith Claim in UM Case

Valerie Dondero, of the Miami office, successfully opposed a Plaintiff’s motion to amend her complaint to add a purported bad faith claim in a first-party UM case. Valerie argued entitlement to dismissal, rather than a stay, of a bad faith claim was appropriate when there had been no determination of coverage nor damages in the underlying claim. The trial court agreed, and therefore denied the Plaintiff’s motion to amend to add the bad faith count.
