Farmers Mut. Ins. Co. of Nebraska v. Kment

NATURE OF CASE

This is an appeal from a declaratory judgment action brought by appellee, Farmers Mutual Insurance Company of Nebraska (FMI), against appellants, John D. Kment and Brian M. Detlef. The jury determined that the injuries sustained by Detlef were intended by Kment and that thus, FMI was not obligated under its homeowner’s insurance contract issued to Kment to provide coverage. The appellants filed this appeal. The specific issue we address is whether an instruction should have been given as to the effect of voluntary intoxication by Kment. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.
