MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Stella N. Logan, Christopher Logan, and Christopher K. Logan, a minor, citizens of Illinois, filed a diversity lawsuit on August 2, 2000, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against defendant Associated International Insurance Company ("AIIC") in connection with AIIC's refusal to pay the Logans' claims for injuries they sustained in a car accident.
The Logans had a car accident in Chicago, Illinois, in June of 1999. Stella Logan was driving a car owned by her employer, the Chicago Housing Authority ("CHA"). AIIC had issued employee automobile insurance to the CHA and, at the time of the accident, the Logans were covered by that policy because Mrs. Logan was working. The other driver's insurance could not cover the Logans' expenses. AIIC refused to pay the Logans' underinsurance claim.
