Indiana: Tortfeasor Not Underinsured in Multiple Injury Case

In an opinion handed down on July 17, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled in favor of an uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage insurer in a case involving multiple plaintiffs. The case, Auto-Owners Insurance Company v. David Eakle, et al., No. 49A04-0606-CV-345, arose from an automobile accident in which David Eakle and his parents, Helen and Leon, were seriously injured through the fault of Lavern Weddel. Weddel died from injuries sustained in the accident. Each of the Eakles incurred medical expenses and each filed a claim with Weddel's insurer, Indiana Insurance Company. David Eakle's wife, Melissa, also submitted a claim for loss of consortium.
