163888P.pdf 11/16/2017 Azim Aziz v. Allstate Insurance Company
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-3888
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - diversity. District court's grant of judgment as a matter of
law following trial for breach of contract of insurance claim is affirmed.
Homeowners failed to present evidence of value of real property before or
after the fire and bankruptcy filing was insufficient to establish value.
Homeowners also failed to present sufficient evidence of personal
property's value immediately before the fire, as proof-of-loss list of
personal property did not account for deterioration, obsolescence or other
depreciation. The vexatious-refusal claim likewise fails where there is no
judgment on the insurance policy.
