McIlravy v. North River Insurance Co.

CADY, Justice.

The primary issue we face in this appeal is whether an injured worker presented a viable cause of action against his employer’s workers’ compensation carrier for bad faith in denying his claim for workers’ compensation benefits. The district court granted the carrier’s motion for summary judgment and the court of appeals affirmed the decision. On further review, we vacate the decision of the court of appeals, affirm the decision of the district court in part and reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings.
