Stephanie Riley v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company — Hannah, J., Concurring

Summary

Chief Justice Hannah concurred in reversing the circuit court but cautioned that the majority's language could incorrectly suggest that every subrogation dispute requires a trial. He explained that whether an insured was made whole may be resolved by agreement or, absent agreement, by litigation, and that State Farm asserted a contingent reimbursement claim rather than a lien. The concurrence would allow the parties to settle or litigate the amount of subrogation owed.
