BASKIN, Judge.
We are confronted with the question of whether a release of all claims executed by the insured in favor of the insurer, subsequent to the entry of an excess judgment in favor of an injured third party, bars a "bad faith" action against the insurer by the injured third party. We hold that the release does not bar the bad faith claim, and consequently, affirm the decision of the trial court.
