MCHUGH v. SELECTIVE INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE SOUTHEAST

The case involves a diversity jurisdiction claim, suggesting the parties are from different states and the amount in dispute exceeds $75,000.

The proposed class would likely consist of other policyholders or injured parties who experienced similar treatment from Selective Insurance in connection with auto accident claims or related insurance coverage disputes.
