Secured Summary Judgment on Vexatious Refusal to Pay
Obtained summary judgment for an insurance company in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri. The Court found that the undisputed facts showed the plaintiff was largely at fault for the accident, and therefore, there was an open question of fact regarding the carrier’s liability to pay uninsured motorist coverage. The Court held there could be no vexatious refusal to pay as a matter of law.
