Description
Three issues are presented in this appeal: (1) Whether a judgment may be entered against an uninsured motorist carrier in
an amount which exceeds the known policy limits in the absence of a finding of bad faith, (2) whether attorney's fees may
be awarded under the sanctions provision of the offer of judgment rule in the absence of evidence or findings that the defendant-insurer
acted unreasonably, and (3) whether a multiplier may be applied to enhance an attorney fee award above the amount fixed by
an unqualified forty-percent contingency fee agreement between the plaintiffs and their attorney. We reverse the order denying GEICO's motion to reduce the judgment in accordance with policy limits, and reverse the attorney's
fee award to the extent it exceeds the forty percent of recovery that was contractually agreed upon between the plaintiffs
and their attorney.
