Petrich Ex Rel. Lee v. Hartford Fire Insurance Co.

OPINION

POPOVICH, Justice.

Paul Petrich, a minor, brought a declaratory judgment action to determine Hartford Fire Insurance Company’s liability for uninsured motorist benefits. Hartford denied coverage based on a policy exclusion for owned vehicles. The trial court ruled the exclusion invalid, granting summary judgment on the coverage issue for Pet-rich. Hartford appealed, and the Minnesota Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court on this point, though it reversed on another point neither party raises here. Petrich v. Hartford Fire Ins. Co., 414 N.W.2d 558, 561-62 (Minn.App.1987). We reverse.
