Description
At a jury trial in January of 1966 Mrs. Laura Weber was awarded $57,500 for injuries which she received in an automobile accident on April 19, 1962, at the intersection of Bothell Way and 73rd N.E. in Seattle. That judgment was appealed and affirmed by the Supreme Court. See Weber v. Biddle, 72 Wash. 2d 22, 431 P.2d 705 (1967). Thereafter, Mrs. Weber initiated actions against Rocky Mountain Fire and Casualty Company, the appellant herein, as the insurer of the defendants on a policy of automobile liability insurance. The actions were brought (1) on a writ of garnishment for the $10,000 insurance limits and (2) as assignee of Carole Day Biddle and Marie Day, her mother (the insureds), for the $47,500 sum in excess of the policy limits, claiming that Rocky Mountain was guilty of "bad faith" in not settling the primary action for the $10,000 policy limits. The two actions were consolidated for trial. Rocky Mountain appeals from a verdict in favor of Mrs. Weber on both causes of action. Mrs. Weber appeals from that portion of the judgment limiting recovery of interest to the $10,000 policy.
