Employee Benefits (1985) 168 Cal.App.3d 898 [workers compensation insurer held not liable for bad faith failure to settle].
In addition to the appeals, Mr. Bonino has tried bad faith cases to verdict in four different northern California counties and in the U. S. district court and has resolved numerous cases in favor of the defendants by dispositive demurrer, judgment on the pleadings or motion for summary judgment.
