Filing 16 MINUTE ORDER denying Defendant American Family Mutual Insurance Company's 11 Motion for Summary Judgment. The subject insurance policy in this lawsuit, policy no. 2020-4857-02-64, docket no. 12 -1 (the "Carson Policy"), extends Pe rsonal Injury Protection (PIP) and Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage to specified categories of "insured persons." Relevant to the Motion, the Carson Policy expressly provides PIP coverage to any other person who sustains bodily injury w hile... using the insured automobile...." Carson Policy, Personal Injury Protection Coverage, at 1. Although the Carson Policy does not contain similar language extending UIM coverage to other persons "using" the insured automobile, &q uot;those words are deemed contained in the endorsement 'by force of the UIM statute and judicial construction.'" As a matter of law, Plaintiff, who is not a named insured on the Carson Policy, is therefore entitled to either PIP or UI M coverage if she was "using" the insured vehicle at the time of the accident. The Carson Policy does not define the term "using" and the Court gives the word its ordinary meaning, with guidance from the multifactor test articulat ed in Butzberger. Although Defendant is correct that the interpretation of the Carson Policy language is a question of law, summary judgment is only appropriate if there are no genuine issues of material fact. The Court concludes that genuine issues of material fact preclude summary judgment. Defendant's "Motion to Strike" contained on pages 810 of its reply brief, docket no. 14 , is DENIED as moot. Authorized by Judge Thomas S. Zilly. (TH) |
