Sheckler v. Auto-Owners Insurance Co.

November 28, 2022465 Ill. Dec. 678

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court held that Auto‑Owners Insurance has no duty to defend or indemnify the Shecklers because they are not identified as insureds under the policy, and the court rejected the appellate court’s reliance on Dix as inapplicable. The decision reversed the appellate judgment and affirmed the circuit court’s summary‑judgment ruling.
