THIBODEAUX, Chief Judge.

In this case, United Fire & Casualty Insurance Company (United) appeals the granting of a Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict (JNOV) by the trial judge. The trial judge granted the JNOV after determining that United breached its duty of good faith in dealing with its insured, Leebo's Stores, Inc. (Leebo's). We disagree with the trial judge and reverse the judgment.
