Washington v. Allstate Indemnity Co.
Appellant Connie Washington sued respondent Allstate Indemnity Company (Allstate) and M.B. Automotive (not a party hereto) because the engine of her car, repaired at one point by M.B. Automotive, seized up and Allstate refused to pay the resulting damages. Prior to trial, the court granted Allstates motion for summary adjudication in appellants claims for bad faith and punitive damages. The case went to trial on the bifurcated issue of judicial estoppel, which was tried to the court. The court determined that judicial estoppel applied to the case and entered judgment for Allstate. Court affirm.
