Liberty Insurance Corporation, et al Missouri Cases

Sheyann Geiler and others (Plaintiffs) filed an equitable garnishment action against Liberty Insurance Corporation to collect on an umbrella policy after a primary insurer paid its limits on a wrongful death judgment against Sharpe Holdings, Inc. Liberty appealed the trial court's grant of summary judgment to Plaintiffs and Starr Indemnity & Liability Company, arguing the underlying judgment was void, its policy excluded coverage, it was denied discovery, and Starr failed its duty to defend. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no error in any of Liberty's points.
