Statement of Case:
This case arises out of a fire which occurred in a building located at 101 W. Washington St., Osceola, Iowa, on April 5, 2022. At the time of the fire, Plaintiffs Siwan Jeetun and Lokeshree Jeetun had a businessowners insurance policy issued by State Farm Fire and Casualty Company. Following the fire, Siwan and Lokeshree submitted a claim to State Farm seeking insurance benefits. State Farm denied Siwan and Lokeshree's claim for benefits.
Siwan and Lokeshree claim State Farm breached the insurance contract by denying the insurance claim. State Farm claims Siwan and Lokeshree did not sustain a loss covered under the insurance policy, that Siwan or Lokeshree violated the dishonesty or false pretense provisions in the insurance policy, and that Siwan or Lokeshree willfully concealed or misrepresented a material fact during State Farm's investigation of the fire loss. |
