Jamel Harrison filed a complaint on May 2 in the St. Louis Circuit Court against American Family Mutual Insurance Co. alleging vexatious refusal.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Sept. 1, 2017, he was involved in an auto accident negligently caused by an uninsured driver on East Rock Road near its intersection with West 20th Street in Granite City. He alleges he suffered severe, permanent and disabling injuries to his back and neck.
