Questions presented
-
Did the June 6, 2024, decision of the Eleventh Circuit fail to comply with the rule that a federal court, in a case in which jurisdiction is founded upon diversity of citizenship, is required to apply the substantive law of the state in which the action arose?
-
Does the decision of the Eleventh Circuit panel impermissibly allow State Farm to deny medical payments coverage, not only to Petitioner, but to perhaps thousands of other State Farm insureds who have incurred medical expenses in an auto accident?
