Description
Frances S. Cockrell, plaintiff, sued defendant insurance company seeking reimbursement for the sum of $3,750.00 as attorney
fees for defending three personal injury damage suits brought against her, $183.60 for incidental expenses incurred in her
defense, and for the sum of $750.00 for the which amount a judgment was rendered against her in compromise of these suits.
Each party moved for summary judgment against the other. Defendant's motion was denied and plaintiff's motion was sustained.
From a judgment for plaintiff allowing her $1,875.00 as a reasonable sum for her attorney fees, $183.60 for expenses, and
$750.00 which she agreed to pay in final settlement of the three claims, a total of $2,808.60, both parties appeal. Plaintiff
contends that that part of the judgment allowed her as attorney fees is contrary to and against all the evidence. We will
first dispose of defendant's appeal. This lawsuit grew out of a collision between an automobile being operated by plaintiff, and one being operated by a Mr. Fifield.
The collision occurred in Kansas City, Missouri, August 19, 1958. Plaintiff's liability to others for damages growing out
of personal injuries while operating her automobile was insured by defendant. The policy was in full force at the time this
collision occurred.
