Robinson v. Erie Ins. Exch.

Plaintiffs’ insured vehicle was struck by a Jeep driven by a hit-and-run driver. Plaintiffs sought coverage for property damage under the uninsured motorists coverage of the family auto insurance policy issued by Erie Insurance Exchange. Erie denied the claim. The trial court granted summary judgment for Erie on the coverage issue. The court of appeals reversed. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court, holding that under the clear and unambiguous language of the Erie policy, the policy did not provide uninsured motorists coverage with respect to the property damage sustained by Plaintiffs’ vehicle because personal injury did not result to Plaintiffs in the accident.
