Description
The principal issue on this appeal is whether respondent may settle with a tort feasor for a claim for personal injuries and reserve a claim for medical expense reimbursement against appellant Aetna in the face of a Reimbursement and Trust Agreement clause in the policy of automobile insurance. The trial court granted judgment for respondent for her medical expenses, $2,842.45, plus interest at 6 per cent per annum from November 20, 1968, and $284.25 damages for vexatious refusal to pay her medical expenses, together with $900.00 attorney fees. On June 24, 1968, Aetna issued its Automobile Policy (Auto-Rite) to respondent's son, Kenneth K. Jones, by which it agreed to pay all reasonable medical expense incurred by the named insured or a relative while occupying a non-owned automobile. When injured in a collision, respondent was occupying a non-owned automobile owned and driven by Rosalie Edgeman on September 22, 1968.
