Description
At issue are the merits of a complaint seeking punitive damages from an insurer based on its conduct in the handling of a claim under the New York standard fire insurance policy. Plaintiffs insureds contend that the insurers unreasonable delay in the processing of their claim constituted a willful, wanton and malicious breach of its contractual obligations, causing them great mental anguish and distress. In addition to punitive damages, plaintiffs seek to recover compensatory damages under the policy for their actual loss. The matter is before us on an appeal from a grant of partial summary judgment striking the claim for punitive damages.
