French v. Hernandez
Supreme Court of New Jersey
Decided June 30, 2005PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Albin
In this insurance coverage case, we must determine whether defendant Enrique Hernandez was a permissive user of his employer’s truck when he caused an accident injuring plaintiff Linda French. On the day of the accident, a non-workday, Hernandez entered his employer’s garage, took the truck, and drove it while intoxicated. Plaintiff contends that Hernandez had permission to use the vehicle. Based on that contention, plaintiff argues that defendant Harleysville Insurance Company of New Jersey, the employer’s insurance carrier, is responsible for covering her damages.
