Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Arbitration
Plaintiff sued his insurer to confirm uninsured motorist arbitration award to judgment and alleged bad faith under Section 155 of Insurance Code in delaying payment on award. Insurer had paid arbitration award after being served with the complaint, and 25 days after Plaintiff had faxed executed release of physician's lien and requested payment. Court properly dismissed complaint, as Plaintiff did not allege facts indicating that insurer had attitude suggestive of vexatiously delaying payment, and suit was filed within 90-day period when insurer could move to vacate or modify award.
