Description
The issue is whether the trial court erred in denying the plaintiff's motions to proceed against the defendant's insurance carrier after the plaintiff had obtained a default judgment against the defendant. We hold that Alabama law requires the plaintiff to bring a [686 So2d Page 219] separate action against the insurance carrier. Therefore, the trial court did not err, and we affirm. Melissa Wiggins was struck in the face by Chris Sanders while attending a fraternity party at the University of Alabama. As a result of the blow, Wiggins lost several teeth and has undergone implant surgery. Sanders is a student at the University of Alabama, and at the time of the incident was covered under his parents' homeowner's insurance policy with State Farm Fire and Casualty Company.
