Jacobsen v. Allstate Insurance Co‪.‬

1 Robert Jacobsen ("Jacobsen") filed a complaint against Allstate Insurance Company ("Allstate") alleging, inter alia, statutory and common law bad faith, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, and actual malice. Jacobsen prevailed in a jury trial on his bad faith claims, and was awarded both compensatory and punitive damages. Allstate now appeals from various rulings of the Eighth Judicial District Court, Cascade County. Jacobsen cross-appeals from the District Courts decision not to compel discovery, and from its determination that Jacobsens emotional distress was not sufficiently severe to be legally compensable. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand to the District Court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
