Insurance Bad Faith Average Verdicts


I'll file this under "I didn't know that." Maryland does not allow for punitive damages in insurance bad faith claims but not so for the rest of the country where the average bad faith punitive damage award was $6,951,219; the median award was $1,000,000.

I have no idea if this is effecting cyclists or not but some insurance companies are messing up elsewhere and getting penalized then the odds are this is happening here as well.

So in talking about manslaughter by vehicle, contributory negligence, police/courts anti-cycling bias and then now this. Just seems like opportunities to stick it to the little guy abound in Maryland. <a href="http://www.marylandinjurylawyerblog.com/2011/01/insurance_bad_faith_average_ve_1.html">http://www.marylandinjurylawyerblog.com/2011/01/insurance_bad_faith_average_ve_1.html</a>;

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
