Description

In this case, we must consider the nature of the relationships among an underwriter, a marketing agency, and a third-party administrator in the insurance industry. The trial court determined that the third-party administrator owed the underwriter a fiduciary duty, and a jury assessed damages. In addition, the jury determined that the marketing agent and the third-party administrator operated as a single-business enterprise and so the court assessed all damages, including exemplary damages based on a finding of malice, jointly and severally against the administrator and the marketing agent. For the reasons stated below, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
