WILTSHIRE v. FARMERS INSURANCE COMPANY OF OREGON (2021)

Court of Appeals of Oregon.

Derick T. WILTSHIRE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. FARMERS INSURANCE COMPANY OF OREGON, an Oregon corporation, Defendant-Respondent.

A170996

Decided: June 16, 2021

Before Armstrong, Presiding Judge, and Tookey, Judge, and Aoyagi, Judge.

Dean Heiling, Portland, argued the cause for appellant. Also on the briefs was Heiling Dwyer. R. Daniel Lindahl, Portland, argued the cause for respondent. Also on the brief were Ronald J. Clark and Bullivant Houser Bailey PC.

Plaintiff assigns error to the trial court's denial of his claim for attorney fees arising out of a negligence action against defendant Farmers Insurance Company of Oregon. Plaintiff's assignment is foreclosed by Goddard v. Farmers Ins. Co., 177 Or. App. 621, 33 P.3d 1075 (2001) (holding that ORS 742.061 does not authorize attorney fees related to a tort claim against an insurer), and we reject it without further discussion. We reject plaintiff's remaining assignments of error.

Affirmed.
