However, because the trial court erred in granting summary judgment for the school on the issue of bad faith, we remand for a new trial on whether the insurance company’s actions constitute bad faith. If the jury finds bad faith on remand, we uphold the jury’s verdict awarding plaintiff damages in the amount of $3,500,000.

Reversed and remanded with directions.
