Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Apr 7, 2020
Farzad S. Qureshi, Respondent, v. American Family Mutual Insurance Company, Appellant.
Farzad Qureshi sued American Family Mutual Insurance Company for uninsured motorist (UM) benefits and vexatious refusal to pay after a hit-and-run accident. A jury found in favor of Qureshi on both counts, awarding UM damages, vexatious refusal damages, and attorney's fees. American Family appealed, challenging the sufficiency of evidence for vexatious refusal and several evidentiary rulings. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment on all points and granted Qureshi's motion for attorney's fees on appeal.
