American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus v. Richard L. Parker Marilyn Phillips Hunter v. Richard L. Parker

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the Franklin Circuit Court’s denial of Aflac’s and Hunter’s motions to compel arbitration and remanded with instructions to grant those motions. The Court held that a valid arbitration agreement existed, that lack of Aflac’s signature did not invalidate it, and that the agreement’s broad language covered Parker’s claims.
