Al-Hakim v. Cook
Appellant carried homeowners insurance through California State Automobile Association Inter-Insurance Bureau (CSAA). When appellant asserted various claims under his CSAA policy for roof leak damages and for clean-up of sewage and mold damages to his home and personal property, CSAA retained San Jose attorney Ronald J. Cook, an attorney with the firm Willoughby, Stuart & Bening, to assist it in the adjustment of appellant’s claims. In the complaint, which is the subject of this appeal, appellant contends attorney Cook and his law firm committed various torts when helping to adjust his claim. The attorney and his firm filed a motion for summary judgment arguing they were entitled to prevail as a matter of law. The trial court agreed and granted the motion. In this appeal, appellant argues the trial court erred when it granted the motion. Court disagreed and affirmed.
