St. LOUIS – A St. Louis County man is seeking underinsured motorist coverage from his insurer.
Jeffrey Schmeiderer filed a complaint on June 15 in the St. Louis Circuit Court against Farmers Insurance Co. alleging breach of contract.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Oct. 21, 2014, he was injured when his vehicle was struck by an underinsured motorist, Donald Wayne Lipsey II, on Landsdowne Avenue in St. Louis County. He alleges he suffered injuries to his neck, back, shoulders, right elbow and stomach and incurred health care expenses of more than $27,000.
