ST. LOUIS – A man alleges he was injured in a collision caused by an underinsured driver and that his insurer has refused to pay him any sums due under a policy.

Arondo Harris Sr. filed a complaint on June 5 in the St. Louis Circuit Court against State Farm Fire and Casualty Co. alleging breach of contract.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on June 5, 2017, he was injured when his vehicle was rear-ended by an underinsured driver. He alleges he suffered severe, permanent and debilitating injuries and incurred expenses of approximately $19,000 as a result.
