Co., 94 Conn.App. 41, 891 A.2d 55 (2006) (holding that absent a contractual relationship between the parties or a judgment leading to subrogation, an insurance carrier owes no duty of good faith and fair dealing to a third-party claimant and a third-party claimant has no cause of action under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act prior to a judicial determination of liability); and American States Ins. Co. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 94 Conn.App. 79, 891 A.2d (2006) (affirming in part trial court’s decision granting plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and holding that an insurer does not act as a volunteer when undertaking the defense of its insured and therefore has standing to pursue a subrogation action).
