OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Court of Appeals has rejected a man’s claim that his auto insurance company should pay his costs in a wrongful death case because it didn’t push him to have more coverage.

Investigators say Dennis Rath was driving recklessly on Sept. 10, 2010, when he caused a crash that killed 51-year-old Dana Peterson.

A settlement with Peterson’s estate saw Rath’s insurance carrier, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., pay his policy limit of $50,000, and Rath personally pay $25,000.

Rath then sued State Farm and an insurance agent to recover the $25,000 and attorneys fees, arguing that they should have pressed him to carry more than $50,000 coverage for bodily injury liability.

But the appeals court on Tuesday said they had no duty to dictate liability coverage to Rath.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Sioux Falls police say no criminal charges are expected after a 2-year-old boy fell from a third-floor apartment window.

Police spokesman Sam Clemens says the boy climbed onto a table, crawled out the window and onto a ledge before falling 27 feet to the ground on Saturday.

The boy was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Clemens says the boy’s mother was in another area of the apartment, and had left the boy to watch TV with his older siblings, ages 3, 4 and 6. Clemens says there was a screen on the window, but that the incident serves as a reminder for parents to make sure windows are safe for small children.

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — Demolition work is set to begin this week on the old Union Pacific depot in Columbus.

A Union Pacific official says crews will begin removing pieces from the building’s interior Wednesday before the depot ultimately is razed. He said total demolition of the structure likely will take weeks to finish.

Union Pacific asked the city if it wanted to purchase the building estimated to be more than 100 years old before tearing it down.

But a city administrator said saving the depot would be too costly because it couldn’t remain at its current location due to its close proximity to the railroad tracks. The projected price tag to relocate the building was $750,000.

Union Pacific moved into a new depot in Columbus earlier this year.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Hall County supervisors are set to vote on providing cremation-only services for people who die in the county and are indigent.

The supervisors will vote on the proposal for cremation-only services, which cost less than a basic burial, on Tuesday.

Hall County has been paying funeral homes over $1,000 per indigent funeral since 1986. The county will also consider raising the 29-year-old reimbursement rate from $1,470 to $1,750

The county also plans to abandon a long-standing practice of burying remains and cremated remains.

According to claims data from the Hall County Clerk’s Office, the county has been averaging about 22 indigent funerals costing about $40,000 a year.
