Bills v. Nationwide Mutual Insurance

JOHNSON, Judge:

This is a consolidated appeal 1 from a judgment awarding no-fault benefits under the Pennsylvania No-fault Motor Vehicle Insurance Act. 2 The injuries giving rise to the claim occurred on August 21, 1979 when a dune buggy in which the claimant was a passenger rolled over while being operated on a privately-owned field. Since we hold that the dune buggy here involved was not a “motor vehicle” as defined by the No-fault Act, we reverse the order and judgment of the trial court.

The sole question on this appeal is whether a dune buggy fits within the definition of a “motor vehicle”…
