Robert Morris was a licensed insurance agent working for his fathers independent insurance agency when he contacted Farmers Insurance Exchange in Alabama about becoming a Farmers agent. According to Farmers company policy, he was an unsuitable candidate due to his relationship with his fathers agency. But no Farmers representative told Morris of this policy, and none of the documents that he signed expressed it. Farmers trained Morris and appointed him its agent. About 3 years later, however, Farmers terminated the appointment for a conflict of interest because his father was in the insurance business. Morris filed a suit in an Alabama State Court against Farmers, claiming that he had been fraudulently induced to leave his fathers agency to work for Farmers. If Morris is to be successful, what damages should he claim?
