Case Name
Alec Zarelli v. Encompass Insurance Company of America and Encompass Indemnity Company, Case No. 15-2-10639-8Superior Court of the State of Washington in and for the County of Pierce
Case Summary
In the lawsuit, Plaintiff claims that when certain automobiles sustain damage to their structural systems and bodies, they cannot be fully repaired to their pre-accident condition, causing the vehicles to suffer a loss in value called “diminished value.” Plaintiff alleges that ENCOMPASS failed to pay or pay adequately for this type of loss under its Washington insurance policies’ UIM PD coverage, and that such an alleged failure to pay is a breach of ENCOMPASS’ automobile insurance contracts. ENCOMPASS denies that it did anything wrong, and contends that it paid the full and appropriate amounts for diminished value, where applicable, as part of its regular claim adjusting process.
