Attorneys obtained summary judgment in favor of an insurance company in a decision which enforced the employee exclusion contained in a commercial automobile policy

Attorneys obtained summary judgment in favor of an insurance company in a decision which enforced the employee exclusion contained in a commercial automobile policy. The claimants argued that the employee exclusion in the commercial automobile policy violated state public policy which mandates automobile insurance coverage, and which was argued not to permit such an exclusion. The underlying plaintiff suffered catastrophic injuries which would have exhausted both the carrier's coverage as well as the Part B liability coverage under the workers' compensation policy issued by another carrier. The court agreed that the employee exclusion was consistent with both the statutorily mandated automobile insurance statute and the statutorily mandated workers' compensation insurance statute.
