Maura Kreitzer v. Safeco Insurance Company of America — 4th Cir. (Sep 15, 2026)
The Fourth Circuit hears Maura Kreitzer's dispute with Safeco Insurance Company of America over underinsured motorist benefits. She sought insurance benefits, the district court ruled for the defendants, and she is appealing that ruling. Underinsured motorist coverage can pay accident damages left uncompensated by an underinsured driver's insurance, within the insured person's own policy limits. In a thirty B six deposition, an organization designates a witness to answer questions on specified topics using information known or reasonably available to the organization.
