Keith v. Allstate Indemnity Co.
Court of Appeals of Washington
1Opinion of the CourtBecker, J.
—An insured has a duty to cooperate with the insurer when making a claim. This duty includes providing access to financial information when a request for such information is reasonable in the circumstances of the claim. In this case, the insured’s claim for loss of a car due to fire *253raised a reasonable question as to whether the insured actually owned the car. The insured refused to cooperate with the insurer’s request for information about his financial condition, and filed a lawsuit when the insured denied coverage. We affirm an order of summary judgment in favor of the insurer.
