The trial court granted summary judgment for Farm Bureau, awarding Coffin $50,000, representing the statutory minimum UM coverage, rather than the $200,000 Coffin sought. Coffin appealed, arguing the policy was ambiguous, the workers' compensation exclusion violated public policy, the underlying default judgment against the uninsured driver was disregarded, and pre-judgment interest was improperly denied. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no error.","primaryTopic":"insurance","topicSlugs":["insurance","contracts","summary-judgment","workers-compensation","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=215895","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/robert-coffin-v-farm-bureau-town-country-insurance-company-of-missouri-et-d87120","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"insurance-bad-faith","label":"Insurance Bad Faith","href":"/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: insurance","text: uninsured","text: coverage"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: workers-compensation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
