Court of Appeals of Indiana
Auto-Owners Insurance Company v. Zachary Shipley
21A-CT-761
Civil tort. Affirms the Marion Superior Court’s denial of summary judgment to Auto-Owners Insurance Company on the issue of underinsured-motorist overage sought by Zachary Shipley. Finds Shipley is entitled to underinsured-motorist benefits after a runaway tire struck him on the job because he was using his roadside-assistance vehicle exactly as it is intended. Concludes that Shipley was using the van “as an auto.”
