Description
The sole issue before the court is whether a plaintiff may have access through discovery to the "claims file" of the defendants insurer, when the plaintiff, having obtained a judgment against the defendant, files a motion for prejudgment interest on the amount of that judgment pursuant to R.C. 1343.03(C). The defendant-appellant herein essentially contends that the plaintiff-appellee may not have access to the claims file because (1) the material in the file is protected under the attorney-client communication privilege, and (2) the file is not relevant to a determination of whether the defendant failed to make a good faith effort to settle the case. We find the appellants arguments to be unpersuasive.
