Baier v. State Farm Insurance Co‪.‬

Plaintiff, Jay Baier, appealed from the judgment of the circuit court of Cook County entered in favor of defendants, State Farm Insurance Company (hereafter defendant) and Allstate Insurance Company (hereafter Allstate), upon allowance of their separate motions for summary judgment. The appellate court affirmed the judgment in favor of Allstate, reversed and remanded as to defendant (28 Ill. App.3d 917), and we allowed defendant's petition for leave to appeal. Plaintiff has conceded the correctness of the affirmance of the judgment in favor of Allstate. The facts are adequately set forth in the opinion of the appellate court and need be only briefly stated here.
