A recent legal filing reveals a compelling case of alleged negligence leading to financial damages. On December 17, 2024, Loya Casualty Insurance Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento, against Jocelyn Brose. The insurance company seeks subrogation recovery for damages amounting to $5,901.89 following an incident they claim was caused by Brose's negligent driving.
According to the complaint, Loya Casualty Insurance Company is pursuing this action as a result of an accident that occurred on May 10, 2022. The incident took place at or near 4737 Oakhollow Dr. in Sacramento, California. The plaintiff alleges that Jocelyn Brose and an unidentified individual referred to as DOE 1 were responsible for causing their insured party to incur significant losses covered under their policy. The insurance company claims that Brose operated her vehicle inattentively or without due care, resulting in an accident that necessitated the payout of the insured's claim totaling $5,901.89.
The legal document outlines several allegations against Brose and unnamed defendants labeled as DOES 1 through 20. It suggests that some of these individuals may have been registered owners or bailees of the vehicle involved in the accident and could be held vicariously liable under permissive use statutes. Additionally, it posits that Brose and others might have been employers of the driver whose negligence led to the incurred loss, thus extending liability through employment relationships.
Loya Casualty Insurance Company is seeking not only reimbursement for the amount paid out but also additional relief from the court. This includes costs associated with bringing forth the suit and prejudgment interest on the claimed amount. The insurance firm argues that justice demands shifting this financial burden onto those they believe are truly responsible for causing their insured's loss.
Representing Loya Casualty Insurance Company is attorney Charlotte M. Konczal from Martinez, Dieterich & Zarcone Legal Group. The case has been assigned Case No. #402 OSS 1 and will be presided over by judges within the Superior Court of California in Sacramento County.
