Metropolitan Property and Casualty Insurance Company d/b/a Metlife Auto & Home and Economy Premier Assurance Company
v.
Auto-Owners Mutual Insurance Company
In this subrogation and contribution case, Auto-Owners Mutual Insurance Company (Auto-Owners) appeals the district court’s $450,000 judgment in favor of Metropolitan Property and Casualty Insurance Company d/b/a Metlife Auto & Home and Economy Premier Assurance Company (Metropolitan). Auto-Owners argues the district court: (1) should have granted Auto-Owners’ summary judgment motion because the incident did not arise out of Parker House’s business conduct; (2) erred in finding that Auto-Owners’ commercial policy covered this personal incident; (3) erred in finding that Metropolitan was entitled to contribution or indemnity from Auto-Owners where the two companies insured different parties and different risks; and (4) in binding Auto-Owners to the settlement agreement, which was allegedly entered into in violation of Auto-Owners’ cooperation clause.
