C. M. Pritchett v. Highway Insurance Underwriters Et Al

C. M. Pritchett sued Highway Insurance Underwriters, a reciprocal insurance exchange, and also three individuals, Davis, Turner and Caruthers, doing business as insurance agents under that name. The plaintiff alleged that he was the owner of a certain tractor and trailer and while operating this equipment in the State of Illinois, as a result of a collision with another truck, he became obligated for and paid out approximately $1,600.00 in settlement of a claim against him for property damage. He further claimed that his tractor and trailer, as a result of the collision, was damaged in the sum of $5,000.00, being the difference in value before and after. He sued upon the terms and conditions of a policy issued by Highway Insurance Underwriters covering property damage liability that, he says, was in force and effect at the time of the collision.
