American Family stung by verdict

American Family Mutual Insurance Co. has been hit with a nearly $3 million verdict in a case involving a former University of Colorado professor and UW-Madison graduate who was seriously injured in a car crash.

A jury in Boulder, Colo., granted the award to Dominic Peressini. It’s believed to be the largest bad-faith verdict ever against an auto insurer over lost wages in Colorado.
