19-2-03579-4 Meseret Shiferaw v. Nationwide Affinity Insurance Co. of America
- Nationwide raises several issues on appeal, including: (1) whether Shiferaw had a cognizable claim under the Insurance Fair Conduct Act (IFCA); (2) whether, under a choice of law analysis, the trial court erred when it applied Ohio law to punitive damages related to Shiferaw’s bad faith claim; (3) whether defense counsel engaged in misconduct and whether that misconduct deprived Nationwide of a fair trial; and (4) whether the trial court erred when it applied a two-times multiplier to Shiferaw’s award of attorney fees and costs.
