Employer''s Mutual Casualty Co. V. Mckeon

Employers Mutual Casualty Company (Employers Mutual) paid Robert E. McKeon, Jay Edward McKeon, and Joan L. McKeon (the McKeons) the limits of the McKeons' insurance policy, less an offset, after the Arizona Supreme Court affirmed a declaration of coverage. The parties contest whether an insured who wins a declaratory judgment regarding coverage is entitled to interest on the amount paid pursuant to the judgment at the legal rate from the date of entry of judgment. The trial court denied the McKeons' motion for summary judgment on this question. We agree that interest should not be awarded to the McKeons, and thus affirm the denial of summary judgment.
