Unfortunately, until the state Supreme Court or the Legislature does something to prevent insurers from forcing plaintiffs to jump through hoops merely to obtain the settlement to which their policy says they are entitled, insurers will merely roll the dice with the hope of obtaining a jury verdict of less than the policy. Want no JURY.
