Steven Glover, As Personal Representative of the Estate of Shelina M. Glover v. Allstate Property and Casualty Insurance Company
20S-CT-23
Civil tort. Vacates the Marion Superior court’s judgment and remands with instructions to grant the estate of Shelina Glover Robinson’s cross-motion for summary judgment. Holds that Shelina was an “insured person” under the policy and qualified as a “resident relative” because she lived with her parents, and her parents did not need to notify Allstate of her status because she was not an “operator” living within their household. Also finds that the policy’s anti-stacking provision does not limit an insured’s ability to recover under multiple UIM policies and that the policy’s offset provision reduces only the payments made on behalf of those persons directly liable for the injury.
Indiana Court of Appeals
Jay Paul Crouse, Jr. v. State of Indiana
19A-CR-3008
Criminal. Affirms Jay Crouse, Jr.’s aggregate 40-year sentence for four convictions of Class B felony armed robbery. Finds the Madison Circuit Court did not abuse its discretion when it ordered his four 10-year sentences to be served consecutive to one another. Also finds that the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it permitted Crouse to file a belated appeal.
Anonymous Hospital v. Mason Spencer and Steve Robertson, Commissioner of The Indiana Dept. of Insurance, and Doug Hill, Medical Review Panel Chair
20A-CT-393
Civil tort. Affirms the Vigo Superior Court’s order denying Anonymous Hospital’s motion for preliminary determination of law and granting Mason Spencer’s motion to reconsider. Finds the trial court properly determined that Spencer is not barred from proceeding with his arguments and allegations of vicarious liability/physician negligence in his submission to be evaluated by the medical review panel.
Jerry Morgan, III v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
20A-CR-864
