Opinion of the Court by
NAKAMURA, J.
In this case, a workers’ compensation insurer made an offer to settle a workers’ compensation claim on terms that included the employee’s resignation. The employee sued, alleging bad faith on the part of the insurer. We hold that the insurer’s inclusion of a resignation term in its settlement offer did not constitute bad faith per se. We further hold that summary judgment in favor of the insurer was proper because the evidence proffered by the employee did not support her allegations of insurer bad faith.
