    Just as significantly, California case law and federal decisions applying such law establish that, even if United made an incorrect decision about the applicability of the Statutes to Plaintiff’s claim, such a decision does not, by itself, establish tortious bad faith. Hanson v. Prudential Ins. Co. of America, 783 F.2d 762, 766 (9th Cir. 1985). “[B]ecause the key to a bad faith claim is whether denial of a claim was reasonable, a bad faith claim should be dismissed on summary judgment if the defendant demonstrates that there was ‘a genuine dispute as to coverage.

    The Prudential Ins. Co. of America, the 9th Circuit Court held that, “Under well settled principles of California law, any ambiguities or uncertainties in insurance contracts are construed against the insurance company… If two or more interpretations are reasonable, we must adopt the interpretation that favors coverage… Moreover, the insurance contract must be considered in light of the reasonable expectations of the insured at the time he purchased coverage.
