Commission approves $30,000 settlement in Jeremy Boyd lawsuit
Summary
Commissioners approved a $30,000 settlement in Jeremy Boyd v. Vernon County (Case No. 3:25-cv-5033-MDH); the county will reimburse insurers across three carriers as noted in the record.
The Vernon County Commission voted unanimously March 31 to approve a settlement of $30,000 in the case Jeremy Boyd v. Vernon County, Case No. 3:25-cv-5033-MDH, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Southwestern Division.
Commissioner Cindy Thompson moved to approve the settlement, and Commissioner John Shorten seconded the motion; the minutes record that "insurance attorneys have agreed upon settlement in the amount of $30,000." The county will reimburse insurance carriers MOPERM $2,500; Star Insurance Companies $2,500; and Kinsale Insurance Company $25,000 because the settlement did not meet deductible limits during the policies' coverage periods.
The record does not include details of the underlying claim or the parties' statements beyond the settlement amounts and the attorneys' agreement. The motion passed unanimously; no dissent or abstention is recorded.
