Action for Bad Faith Was Ordered to Arbitration Based on Insurance Policy’s Arbitration Provision

Truck Ins. Exchange v. Pediatrix Med. Grp., Inc. (4th DCA 2013)

In this very brief opinion concerning an insurance bad faith action, the court entered a stay of the proceedings and reversed a trial court’s order denying a motion to compel arbitration. The court explained that because the insurance policy in question contained an arbitration provision and because the issues raised in the bad faith action were “inextricably intertwined with arbitrable issues,” the “trial court should have granted the motion to compel arbitration of the underlying issues and stayed the present case until those issues are decided” in arbitration.
