06/17/94 Alexander Scott Featherston V. Allstate

Appellant, Alexander Scott Featherston ("Featherston"), appeals an order of the district court granting respondent Allstate Insurance Company's ("Allstate") motion for summary judgment. Featherston filed an action against Allstate to recover damages based on negligence, fraud, misrepresentation, estoppel, and Insurance Trade Practices violations, after he discovered that injuries he sustained in an automobile accident caused by an underinsured motorist were not covered under a policy purchased by Featherston from Allstate. Featherston contends that a genuine issue of material fact exists concerning the duty of care owed Featherston by Allstate, which issue precludes summary judgment. We reverse.
