State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance v. Centennial Insurance
Court of Appeals of Washington
Decided December 9, 1975No. 1486-2PublishedCited by 46 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtPetrie, C.J.
This is a dispute among three insurance companies to determine the potential liability, if any, each has for damages sustained by a driver of an automobile when his passenger accidentally shot and wounded him. The trial court held (1) that the driver’s automobile liability insurance policy provided primary coverage, and (2) that the passenger’s automobile liability insurance policy and the passenger’s homeowner’s liability insurance policy provided excess coverage. We hold that the driver’s automobile liability insurance does not provide coverage for the accident.
