Case Details
Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that individuals injured after an auto accident could stack their insurance, entitling a motorist injured in a motorcycle accident to $250,000 after Geico denied coverage.
Additional Notes
The 5-2 decision involved a motorist injured after a motorcycle accident, and the insurance company Geico. The injured motorist had purchased insurance coverage for the motorcycle he was riding, as well as for two additional vehicles. Stacking his insurance entitled him to $250,000, but Geico denied him the chance to stack his policies due to the exclusions on the policy. The Supreme Court found that denying coverage based on exclusions violated the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law.
