Keith County, District Judge Richard A. Birch
Attorney for Appellants: Brock D. Wurl (Norman, Paloucek, Herman & Wurl Law Offices)
Attorney for Appellees: Sean A. Minahan (Lamson Dugan & Murray, LLP)
Civil Action: Summary Judgment; Professional Negligence/Negligent Misrepresentation; Insurance Agent
Action Taken by Trial Court: The district court sustained the appellees' motion for summary judgment and dismissed the appellants' case.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: The appellants assign that the district court erred in (1) sustaining the appellees’ motion for summary judgment and dismissing the appellants’ case, and (2) determining that this was a case involving anticipation of coverage, rather than a professional negligence case where an insurance agent provided incorrect and incomplete advice to her client.
