Description
William H. Billings, Chief Justice Plaintiffs John and Gayle Gast are the parents of Elizabeth Gast, a minor, who was injured
in an automobile accident. They appeal from an order of the trial court granting summary judgment to defendant Steven Ebert
on plaintiffs' claim seeking rescission of a release agreement executed with defendant's insurer. The issue is whether a factual
dispute exists as to the validity of the release agreement. The Court concludes that there is a genuine issue of material
fact and reverse and remand. On November 24, 1981, Elizabeth Gast was injured while a passenger in an automobile driven by Steven Ebert. Six months later,
John and Gayle Gast and their minor daughter signed a written settlement agreement with Ebert's insurer, American Family Insurance
in which they agreed to release their claims for $4,165.06. Two drafts totaling $3,165.06 were paid covering Elizabeth's medical
expenses. Prior to receiving the additional $1,000.00 from the insurance company, Mr. and Mrs. Gast and their daughter repudiated
the release agreement and field suit against Ebert.
