Description
FRANK F. DROWOTA III, Justice Plaintiffs-appellants, Wanda and Lorenzo Dockins, have sued under their uninsured motorist coverage
for injuries suffered by Mrs. Dockins. Defendant Balboa Insurance Company denied coverage by virtue of certain household exclusions
in the policy, and the trial court granted summary judgment in its favor. The Court of Appeals reversed, and we granted an
appeal to consider whether these exclusions were rendered invalid by a revision of the governing statutes in 1982. Mrs. Dockins was injured while a passenger in her husband's vehicle and by the negligence of Jimmy Moore, who was driving
the car with her permission. This was, it appears, a one-car accident. The vehicle was listed on the declarations page of
the Balboa policy, and for purposes of the uninsured motorist part of the policy, Mrs. Dockins was an owner and an insured.
The policy provided the minimum, identical amounts of liability and uninsured motorist coverages, as well as a small medical
expense coverage.
