South Dakota Supreme Court

State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Deborah Vostad, Special Administratrix Of…

August 10, 19941994 S.D. LEXIS 119

Summary

The court held that Jessica's death resulting from negligent carbon-monoxide exposure qualified as an accident under the State Farm policy, but affirmed the denial of uninsured-motorist coverage. Coverage was unavailable because the motor home was being used as a bedroom or premises rather than for a transportation purpose. The court therefore affirmed the circuit court's judgment as to State Farm.
