This endorsement concerns a motion for default judgment brought by State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, the plaintiff's insurer, against Ndirika Ozueh, an uninsured at-fault driver.
The action arose from a 2011 car accident where Ms. Ozueh was deemed at fault.
State Farm, having settled with the plaintiff for $45,000, sought to recover these funds through a crossclaim against Ms. Ozueh, who had been noted in default.
The court applied the test for default judgment, finding that the deemed admissions and adduced evidence supported State Farm's claim for damages.
Default judgment was granted in favour of State Farm for $45,000 plus costs.
