181948P.pdf 08/01/2019 Allstate Indemnity Company v. Joseph Dixon
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-1948
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield
[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Insurance. The district court did not err in admitting
Allstate's experts' testimony regarding the cause of the fire in issue;
the evidence in the case, together with the reasonable inference to be
drawn therefrom, was sufficient to meet Allstate's burden of
submissibility, and the district court did not err in denying defendants'
motion for judgment as a matter of law; denial of defendants' motion for
new trial was not a miscarriage of justice in light of the evidence;
Allstate was entitled to recover the money it paid defendant's mortgagees.
