Description

Here a body shop owner has sued the owner of a damaged automobile and his collision carrier for repairs on the vehicle. Plaintiff took default judgment against the automobile owner. Trial to the court resulted in judgment for plaintiff against the insurance carrier for the amount of the repair bill. The insurer alone has appealed. On December 6, 1979, an automobile owned by defendant, David Crooks, owner of Midwestern Delivery Service, was involved in a collision. The vehicle was taken to the Fritz Body Shop, a business owned by appellee Fritz Branner. Appellant Aetna Life and Casualty Company, which had collision coverage on the Crooks automobile, employed an independent appraisal service to appraise the damage to the car. This appraiser prepared a written appraisal indicating damage in the amount of $1,773.03.
