Mealey's (February 11, 2019, 12:59 PM EST) -- HAMMOND, Ind. — A federal judge in Indiana on Jan. 29 ruled that an insurer did not breach the terms of its contract with its insureds and did not act in bad faith in denying an additional insured’s claim for coverage for his minor son who was killed in an automobile accident because the additional insurer was not a named insured to the automobile insurance policy and not entitled to underinsured motorist benefits (Louis A. Arroyo, et al. v. GEICO Casualty Co., No. 16-511, N.D. Ind., 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 16045)....
