Schmidt v. All state Indemnity
In this consolidated appeal, plaintiffs Joe Bob Schmidt and Kathleen Ann Dudgeon appeal from adverse judgments entered on their complaints against defendants Allstate Insurance Company and Allstate Indemnity Company (collectively Allstate). Schmidt also appeals from an adverse judgment on his complaint against defendants Anthony J. Allard and the law firm of Bennett, Samuelsen, Reynolds & Allard (collectively Allard). Allstate provided coverage for appellants, and Allard represented Schmidt, in an earlier personal injury action against Schmidt and Dudgeon. However, Allstate refused to provide coverage when the injured party filed a second action alleging that Schmidt and Dudgeon had fraudulently induced him to settle the personal injury claim by hiding assets and misrepresenting Schmidts financial condition. Court conclude that the trial court properly rejected all of appellants claims and affirm the judgment.
