Wiggins v. State Farm Fire and Cas. Co.
Supreme Court of Alabama
Decided November 27, 1996No. 1950777Published
1Concurrence
I concur in the result because I do not believe the court abused its discretion in denying the motion to add State Farm as a defendant. I do not believe it necessary in every circumstance for a judgment creditor to file a separate, independent action against an insurance company in order to seek to satisfy an outstanding judgment. See Haston v.Transamerica Insurance Services, 662 So.2d 1138 (Ala. 1995), and Rice v. State Farm Fire Casualty Co., 628 So.2d 582 (Ala. 1993).
