Case v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co.

Case (plaintiff), an independent contractor insurance agent whose written contract allowed the companies (defendants) to terminate him with or without cause, sued for wrongful termination after being let go, also mentioning interference with his agency work but tying that allegation into the wrongful-termination claim rather than pleading it as a separate cause of action. The trial court granted the companies' motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, and Case appealed.
