Appellants claimed Progressive breached its insurance contract by failing to timely pay benefits and violated the attorney lien statute by paying a medical provider directly. The appellate court affirmed the summary judgment, finding Progressive had reasonable proof for its payment delays and that Kansas law, which allows assignment of PIP benefits, applied to the insurance contract between Kansas residents.","primaryTopic":"insurance","topicSlugs":["insurance","contracts","civil-procedure","summary-judgment","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=202355","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/janet-perea-and-mav-mirfasihi-v-progressive-northwestern-insurance-compan-d86038","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: contract"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment","topic: appellate-procedure","text: summary judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"},{"slug":"insurance-bad-faith","label":"Insurance Bad Faith","href":"/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: insurance"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
