Timothy Kuhn v. Hector Cervantes-Andrade, USAA

VERDICT

Trial
01/27/25 – 01/31/25

Summary

A Nevada state court jury slammed USAA with a $100 million punitive damages verdict in a bad faith lawsuit over the insurance giant’s delays in paying out a claim for a zero-fault insured driver involved in a rear-end collision.

The Clark County jury awarded the $100 million, in addition to $14 million in compensatory damages, over USAA’s actions following a 2018 collision involving plaintiff Timothy Kuhn. USAA determined Kuhn was not at fault after being rear-ended in stationary highway traffic, but when Kuhn sued the driver who hit him to collect damages related to a concussion USAA intervened and argued Kuhn was responsible for the crash.

Outcome

Verdict for plaintiff.

Total Damages: $114 million
Including $14 million in compensatory damages and $100 million in punitive damages.
