Linn jury awards over $1 million in insurance dispute case
A Linn County jury found Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Co. acted in bad faith by pursuing fraud claims to avoid coverage. Al Wierck of Fairbank received 50 000 in defense costs plus 175 000 for mental pain and 175 000 for emotional distress and 200 000 in punitive damages. The Agues won 244 208 against Wierck, as his son’s drunken driving and transfer of a truck affected the policy. The total verdict exceeds 744 208 and with interest tops $1 million.

Traffic safety pivotal in rural health study findings
At a National Advisory Committee on Rural Health hearing George Reagle of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration cited that 58 percent of traffic fatalities occur on rural roads often tied to drinking speeding and nonuse of seat belts. The committee discussed boosting government aid to improve rural health services and creating a network of state and local health officials to spread seat belt and drunk driving messages. Grants totaling over 1 million dollars were awarded to five rural health research centers across several states and 69000 to the Journal of Rural Health publisher to support rural health research projects.
