Hounihan v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. of Bloomington, Illinois

HOGAN, Presiding Judge.

This is an action on the collision coverage provisions of an automobile insurance policy. Trial to a jury has resulted in a verdict and judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $823.80, and the defendant has appealed. There is no dispute that the plaintiff’s vehicle was damaged and that it was covered by the defendant’s policy and that the defendant is liable under the policy. As the defendant puts the question in its brief, “[t]he only dispute and the only issue involved is the amount of damages recoverable under the terms of the * * * policy.”
