HealthEast Bethesda Hosp. v. United Commercial Travelers of Am.
HealthEast Bethesda...(U.S. 8th Cir., Contracts, Health Law, Insurance Law) In an action for breach of an insurance settlement contract, summary judgment for plaintiff is affirmed where: 1) defendant was not an unsophisticated party because it had significant experience in handling and negotiating claims with healthcare providers; 2) because defendant bore the risk of mistake, the district court properly denied rescission based on unilateral mistake; and 3) the record of inaction by defendant strongly supported the denial of relief under both unilateral and mutual mistake.
