3217 REVIEW DENIED By denying excess coverage for a third party claim, an excess insurer waives the right to challenge the reasonableness of the primary insurer's settlement of the claim; an insurers settlement of a first party bad faith case against it is not the payment of a debt for which another carrier should owe equitable indemnity; a carrier that settles a claim against the insured within policy limits is not liable to the insured or its subrogee for bad faith.CitationUSAA v ALASKA INS (Bad Faith Subrogation) 94 CA4 638 [See: Pruyn v Agricultural 36 CA4 500, T/AT 8/95]
