Brumfield v. State Farm Insurance Co.
Opinion of the Court
Granted.
A liability insurer is not entitled to be discharged from its obligation to a tort victim by filing a concursus proceeding and admitting liability until the insurer deposits into the registry of court both the full amount of insurance coverage and legal interest from the date of judicial demand until the date of deposit.
Accordingly, the judgment of the court of appeal is set aside, and the judgment of the district court is reinstated.
