Kelly v. South Carolina Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance

Howell, Chief Judge:

Linda Kelly sued South Carolina Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company (Farm Bureau) for breach of a homeowners’ insurance policy and for negligent misrepresentation by Farm Bureau’s agent in describing the coverage under the policy.
