David B. Karr, Individually and On Behalf of Others Similarly Situated vs. Kansas City Life Insurance Company
David B. Karr, individually and on behalf of a class, sued Kansas City Life Insurance Company (KCL) for breach of contract related to universal life insurance policies. The trial court granted partial summary judgment to Karr on liability, awarded damages after a jury trial, and denied prejudgment interest. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's rulings on liability, statute of limitations, primary jurisdiction, damages, and class certification. However, the court reversed the denial of prejudgment interest, finding the damages were ascertainable, and remanded the case for calculation of that award.
