0825 An insurer that closed its file on a collision claim because its insured said she had collected all her damages from a tortfeasor might have had proper cause to do so and, therefore, might have acted in good faith; if evidence of the insured's settlement with the tortfeasor is offered to show the insurer's good faith, it is not prohibited by the collateral source rule.CitationKARDLY v STATE FARM (Judicial Apology) 31 CA4 1746 [See: Kardly v State Farm 207 CA3 479; Twaite v Allstate 216 CA3 239]
