The trial court found U-Haul and ARCOA were collaterally estopped from litigating insurance coverage questions related to an automobile collision, based on a prior personal injury lawsuit finding Carter negligently caused the collision. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that the Respondents failed to establish that the insurers' refusal to defend was unjustified, which is a prerequisite for applying collateral estoppel to the coverage issues and requires consideration of the insurance policy terms.","primaryTopic":"insurance","topicSlugs":["insurance","civil-procedure","summary-judgment","auto-accident","negligence"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=135855","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/u-haul-company-of-missouri-and-arcoa-risk-retention-group-inc-v-timothy-a-d81506","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: negligence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"insurance-bad-faith","label":"Insurance Bad Faith","href":"/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: insurance","text: coverage","text: insurance policy"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith"},{"slug":"car-accidents","label":"Car Accidents","href":"/practice-areas/car-accidents","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: auto-accident"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/car-accidents"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
