Argonaut Great Central Ins. Co v. Casey, et al, No. 12-1221 (8th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseA bus owned by the Church was involved in a single-vehicle accident caused by the driver's negligence. At the time of the accident, the Church was insured by two policies issued by Argonaut, a Commercial Auto Policy (Policy) and underinsured motorist insurance (UIM). Recognizing that personal injury claims would greatly exceed the policies' combined coverages, Argonaut commenced this diversity interpleader action. Applying Arkansas law and interpreting the Policy, the court affirmed the district court's conclusion that the Policy unambiguously allowed aggregate recovery of the limits of both coverages.
Court Description: Civil case - Insurance. District court did not err in determining that under Arkansas law and the provisions of the policy in question, it could aggregate Argonaut's liability and uninsured motorist coverages to determine the insurer's liability.
