Case Details
The Illinois Supreme Court held that a minor bicyclist struck by an uninsured motorist was insured under the uninsured motorist coverage of his father’s insurance policy even though the minor was not driving a motor vehicle.
Additional Notes
This holding is noteworthy because the case covered a bicycle, which is not a motor vehicle. It is unknown how far this ruling will be applied in the future to other situations involving other modes of transportation that are not typically licensed motor vehicles.
