United Fire & Casualty Co. v. Tharp

Missouri Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court

SHRUM, Judge.

The issue presented by this appeal is whether Dennis Hyman (“Hyman”) had liability insurance coverage for claims arising from an accident that occurred while he was driving his employer’s van. Specif ically, did Hyman become a non-permissive driver and lose coverage which otherwise existed because at the time of the accident, he was violating his employer’s rules against (1) transporting non-company passengers, and (2) alcohol usage? The trial court, in entering summary judgment against United Fire & Casualty Company (“United”), found there was coverage. United appeals. We affirm.
