Mealey's (April 22, 2016, 7:56 AM EDT) -- OKLAHOMA CITY — A federal judge in Oklahoma on April 20 granted in part and denied in part an insurer’s motion for judgment on the pleadings in a bad faith lawsuit, ruling that although the plaintiff in the action had properly shown that the insurer acted in bad faith in its handling of a settlement, he cannot bring his bad faith claim regarding the insurer’s handling of his claims against the insureds in the action because he is a third-party claimant and not a first-party insured (Michael Kleinsasser v. Progressive Northern Insurance Co., No. 16-102, W.D. Okla.; 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 52072)....
