Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Feb 20, 2024
Michael Megown, et al., Appellants, v. Auto Club Family Ins. Co., Respondent.
Michael and Jane Megown appealed the trial court's allocation of settlement funds to their insurer, Auto Club Family Insurance Company, as subrogee, from a settlement with a third-party tortfeasor. The Megowns argued that subrogation of personal injury claims is prohibited, and their settlement included such claims. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, holding that the trial court properly allocated the settlement funds, respecting the ban on personal injury subrogation while allowing the property damage subrogation.
