Description
On April 21, 1978, in Anderson County, a collision occurred between a vehicle operated by Willie W. Alves and a vehicle operated by George Veevers in which Sandra Kelly was a rear-seat passenger. As a result of the collision, Kelly received serious injuries. A negligence action was filed on behalf of Kelly by Jerry Calhoon, a Palestine lawyer. This suit went to trial on April 2, 1979, and on April 20, 1979, judgment was rendered on a jury verdict in favor of Kelly against Willie W. Alves for $521,453.57. No appeal was perfected from the judgment, and it became final and non-appealable before June 27, 1979. At the time of the collision, Alves was an insured in an automobile liability insurance policy issued by Allstate with bodily injury liability limits of $50,000 per person and $100,000 per occurrence. It is undisputed that the liability policy contained provisions triggering the application of the rule in Stowers. On February 22, 1979, Allstate paid into the registry of the Anderson County District Court its policy limits of $50,000 by draft payable to the order of the District Clerk for the benefit of Sandra Kelly. On June 27, 1979, these funds were, on motion of Sandra Kelly and order of the trial court, disbursed by the Clerk to Kelly and her lawyer, Jerry Calhoon.
