Washington court removes $47M in damages but upholds bad-faith findings after deadly family crash

A recent ruling from the Washington State appeals court has slashed about $47 million in punitive damages previously awarded against Nationwide Affinity Insurance Company. This decision reaffirmed that the insurer acted in bad faith while managing claims tied to a devastating car accident. Meseret Shiferaw, who tragically lost three children in the 2017 crash, raised claims of negligence involving the insurer's handling.
