Eighth Circuit -- Carolyn Schubert v. Auto Owners Insurance Company

Carolyn Schubert v. Auto Owners Insurance Company

Good-faith allegations of pleading as to vexatious refusal to pay claim suffice for establishing 75K amount in controversy.

Insurance provision limiting recovery to half of policy where interest in the property has substantially changed is void since contrary to state law.

Policy provision  is not overly vague.
Compiled by D.E. Frydrychowski, who is, not incidentally, not giving you legal advice.
