Plaintiffs were claiming to be entitled to an additional $300,000 in compensatory and punitive damages. Plaintiffs claimed breach of contract and bad faith. After a two-week trial, the jury returned a unanimous verdict in favor of defendant Pike Mutual, finding that there was no breach of contract and that Pike Mutual was not guilty of bad faith.

  Many of these accidents result in little or no harm to the victim. However, sometimes the worst happens, leaving the victim with a significant personal injury. For example, tripping on a loose or frayed rug can result in a fall. If you hit your head when you fall, a brain injury could occur. Such an injury typically means at least some amount of current and future medical care is necessary for recovery.
