UM Coverage Not Triggered By Transportation of Victim to Site of Assault.

September 10, 2018

The Court of Appeals of Mexico has agreed with a lower courts ruling that the transportation of a minor to another location to commit sexual assault, in a vehicle that is uninsured does not trigger the uninsured motorist coverage because the assault did not arise from the use of the vehicle. The case is Crespin v. Safeco Ins. Co. of Am., No. A-1-CA-35732, 2018 N.M. App. LEXIS 46 (Ct. App. Aug. 14, 2018).
