Description:

Mount Vernon, Missouri bad faith breach of insurance contract lawyer represented the Plaintiff.

Sammy Woods's ("Insured") 2016 Ford F350 Super Duty truck ("the Vehicle") was insured by Trader's Insurance Company ("Traders"). After Insured was involved in a multiple-car accident that took place on or about July 1, 2018 (the "Incident"), Insured filed a claim with Traders to cover the resulting damage to the Vehicle. Traders denied coverage on the ground that it was excluded under the Policy's business and delivery exclusions.

Insured then sued Traders for breach of contract ("Count 1") and vexatious refusal to pay ("Count 2"). After the parties filed competing motions for summary judgment, the circuit court granted Insured's motion as to Count 1 and entered judgment accordingly.
