Hingle v. Scottsdale Insurance Co.

Supreme Court of Louisiana
Hingle v. Scottsdale Insurance Co., 25 So. 3d 143 (La. 2010)
2010 La. LEXIS 121

Hingle v. Scottsdale Insurance Co.

Opinion of the Court

In re Scottsdale Insurance Company;— Defendant; Applying For Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Orleans, Civil District Court Div. J, No. 2008-7879; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 2009-C-1065.

Granted. Because the policy number was unavailable at the time the waiver was executed, its omission does not invalidate the form. See Carter v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Ins. Co., 07-1294 (La.10/5/07), 964 So.2d 375. We further find relator, has established the representative signing the waiver form had authority to do so. See Harper v. Direct General Insurance Company, 08-2874 (La.2/13/09), 2 So.3d 418. Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is reversed, and summary judgment is granted in favor of relator.
