USE NOTES

This element of damages must be included under UJI 13-1712 NMRA in a case where an insurer’s bad faith conduct resulted in the entry of a judgment in an underlying action against its insured. The names of the parties in the underlying action should be inserted in the blanks to assist the jury’s recognition of this damage element. As used here, an “underlying action” may include events in the same lawsuit if they resulted in a judgment.
