Barber v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance

SCHROEDER, Justice.

This is an appeal by State Farm Insurance Company from the district court’s determination that its insureds, the Barbers, are entitled to attorney fees pursuant to section 41-1839 of the Idaho Code. The Barbers were awarded attorney fees by the district court following arbitration of a claim for personal injury resulting from a collision with an uninsured motorist. State Farm argues that the district court erred in applying Idaho law to the attorney fee issue instead of Washington law. The Barbers request an award of attorney fees on appeal.
