Progressive’s Summary Judgment Dumped on Appeal
Summary: May & May Trucking (“May & May”) was insured by Progressive. May & May leased one of its dump trucks to Trent Quinn who took it to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina where it was stolen. Sometime after the leasing to Quinn the coverage limits were increased by $50,000. After disputes arose, May & May filed suit for breach of contract and vexatious refusal to pay. The circuit court’s summary judgment in favor of Progressive was reversed on appeal.
