142587P.pdf   07/30/2015  Western Heritage Insurance Co.  v.  Fun Services of Kansas City
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-2587
                          and No:  14-2697
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wollman, Circuit Judge, and Doty, District Judge] Civil case - Insurance. In this declaratory judgment action to determine whether Western had a duty to indemnify and defend its insured in an action brought by Fun Services for damages related to its receipt of the insured's junk faxes, Fun Services did not have standing under Missouri law to bring counterclaims regarding the meaning of the policies because it had not yet obtained a judgment against Western's insured; deductible endorsements operate more like a policy limit that a defense to coverage and Western's failure to issue a reservation of rights did not waive its ability to enforce the deductible endorsements; the district court did not err in determining that the $1,000 deductible amount applies separately to each fax and did not err in determining that damages and legal expenses could not exceed $1,000; even if the ordinary person could define "claim" to include multiple faxes sent to one class member during a policy year, Fun Services failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact about whether any class member received more than one fax in a policy year, and the district court did not err in granting summary judgment to Western on the duty-to-indemnify issue.
