Indiana Supreme Court
Christopher Schmidt v. Indiana Insurance Company, C&F Insurance Group, LLC, and Bart Stith
22S01-1507-PL-412
Civil plenary. Reverses in part the trial court's entry of summary judgment for the insurance agency and insurance agent to the extent that it may apply to the Schmidt’s claim for negligent procurement of insurance, but directs the entry of partial summary judgment for the agents as to Schmidt’s claim alleging the agents failed to accurately report dwelling fire policy information to the insurance company. The agents failed to exclude the possibility that other types of fire insurance coverage for Schmidt’s rental property could have been obtained and issued. Affirms summary judgment for Indiana Insurance Co.
