Ray v. Farmers Insurance Exchange

Opinion

EVANS, Acting P. J.

Plaintiff" James Ray (Ray) appeals from the judgment following a jury’s general verdict for defendant Farmers Insurance Exchange (Farmers) on Ray’s breach of contract and related actions.1 Ray asserts prejudicial instructional error and insufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict. The linchpin in Ray’s case is Farmers’s alleged obligation, under the terms of an automobile collision insurance policy, to compensate Ray, after repair of his wrecked car, for the car’s diminution in market value because of its status as a wrecked car. We shall affirm the judgment.
