Illinois Farmers Insurance Co. v. Neumann

OPINION

WILLIS, Judge.

The district court granted respondent Illinois Farmers Insurance Company’s summary judgment motion, finding that (1) appellant Barbara Brenny was a “resident of residence premises” as that term is used in a bodily injury exclusion in defendant Katina Neumann’s renter’s insurance policy; and (2) Brenny’s medical costs and lost wages resulting from being bitten by Neu-mann’s dog are, therefore, not covered by the policy. Brenny appeals and moves for attorney fees, claiming that she should be reimbursed for the cost of defending against a frivolous claim on appeal.
