Description
The plaintiffs-appellants, Walter and Edwina Franks (Franks), filed a complaint for breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing against the defendant-appellee, United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company (USF & G). USF & G filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted. The trial court granted the motion to dismiss based upon Sandoval v. Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement & Power District, 117 Ariz. 209, 571 P.2d 706 (App.1977). This appeal presents two issues: whether the Arizona superior courts have jurisdiction over and whether there is a cause of action for an injured worker's claim for damages based upon alleged bad faith administration of a worker's claim for benefits by his employer's insurance carrier.
