ORDER ON PENDING MOTIONS
This case arises from a single-vehicle accident that resulted in serious injuries to
Violet1 and Jessica Tichenor, minor injuries to Marshall and Greg Tichenor, and the death
of Preston Tichenor. At the time of the accident, Marshall Tichenor was driving a 2002
Lincoln Navigator that was insured by a policy issued by State Farm Mutual Automobile
Insurance Company (“State Farm”). Expecting bodily injury claims might be presented
under the policy, State Farm filed the present Complaint for Declaratory Judgment,
asking the court to enter a declaratory judgment that: (1) the household exclusion applies
to the accident, (2) the uninsured motor vehicle coverage does not apply to the accident,
1
The court will refer to the individual Tichenor defendants by each defendant’s first
name, including Preston, now deceased, and will refer to the defendants collectively as the
“Tichenors.”
1
and (3) providing all other relief just and proper in the premises.
Six motions currently pend in this case. Listed in chronological order of their
filing, they are: (1) Motion for Partial Summary Judgment filed by Jessica Tichenor, Greg
Tichenor and the Estate of Preston Tichenor; (2) Motion for Summary Judgment filed by
Marshall and Violet Tichenor; (3) Motion for Summary Judgment filed by State Farm
Mutual Insurance Company; (4) Second Motion for Partial Summary Judgment filed by
Jessica Tichenor, Greg Tichenor and the Estate of Preston Tichenor; (5) Notice to Enforce
Federal Rule 11 filed by Marshall and Violet Tichenor; and (6) Motion for Oral
Argument filed by Marshall and Violet Tichenor. Because these motions relate to the
same set of facts and address many of the same issues, the court addresses all six motions
in this Entry. For the reasons set forth below, the court GRANTS in part, and DENIES
in part, State Farm’s Motion, and DENIES the balance of the Motions.
I.
Factual Background
The facts in this case are undisputed.
Greg Tichenor is the adult son of Marshall and Violet Tichenor. Greg is low
functioning and receives disability benefits from the Social Security Administration. On
December 29, 2009, Greg’s wife, Jessica, gave birth to a son named Preston. Following
his birth, Jessica began suffering from what would later be diagnosed as post-partum
depression. It soon became apparent that Jessica and Greg needed assistance to care for
Preston. Accordingly, on February 8, 2010, Greg, Jessica, and Preston, moved out of the
home they were renting in Camby, Indiana, and into the home of Marshall and Violet in
2
Westport, Indiana.
When they moved out of the home in Camby, Greg and Jessica took all of their
belongings, except an old couch. Greg and Jessica shared a bedroom with Preston, and
slept on a mattress on the floor for the first couple of weeks. Most of their belongings
were stored in the basement and two spare bedrooms. Greg and Jessica also shared a key
to the house – the same key Greg had had for many years.
Greg and Jessica did not intend to live with Marshall and Violet on a permanent
basis. They intended to move out as soon as Jessica was able to care for Preston. To this
end, Greg actively looked for an apartment in Columbus, Indiana, with the goal of
securing housing closer to Marshall and Violet. Due to Greg and Jessica’s financial
situation, they had to apply for government housing and were placed on waiting lists
given the unavailability of Section 8 housing.
On May 28, 2010, Marshall, Violet, Greg, Jessica, and Preston left for Florida in
Marshall’s Lincoln Navigator. While traveling on Interstate 65 in Hart County,
Kentucky, Marshall fell asleep at the wheel and lost control of his vehicle, striking a
guardrail. Preston suffered serious injuries and later died. Jessica and Violet also
suffered serious injuries, and required extended hospitalization. Marshall and Greg
suffered only minor injuries and were quickly released from the hospital.
Preston’s death certificate reflected that he resided at Marshall and Violet’s
address. The funeral home account ledger shows an address for Preston’s father, Greg,
that is the same as Marshall and Violet’s.
3
Following the accident, Jessica and Greg did not return to Marshall and Violet’s
home.
At the time of the accident, Marshall had a policy of automobile liability insurance
on the vehicle he was driving through State Farm, under policy number C62-6903-A2414I. (Plaintiff’s Ex. 2, Docket # 50). The policy had limits of liability coverage in the
amount of $250,000 per person/$500,000 per accident. (Id.). All other facts necessary
for the resolution of this Entry will be addressed in the Discussion Section below.
II.
Contract Interpretation
Insurance contracts are subject to the same rules of construction as other contracts:
The goal is to ascertain and enforce the parties’ intent as manifested in the insurance
contract. Briles v. Wausau Ins. Co., 858 N.E.2d 208, 213 (Ind. Ct. App. 2006). In
accomplishing that goal, the court must construe the insurance policy as a whole, and not
just the individual words, phrases, or paragraphs. Westfield Co. v. Knapp, 804 N.E.2d
1270, 1274 (Ind. Ct. App. 2004). If the policy language is clear and unambiguous,
Indiana courts give the language its plain and ordinary meaning. Id.
The court must interpret the policy language in a manner that harmonizes the
provisions rather than one that supports a conflicting version of the provisions. Id.
Policy terms are interpreted from the perspective of an ordinary policyholder of average
intelligence. Id. If reasonably intelligent persons may honestly differ as to the meaning
of the policy language, the policy is ambiguous. Id. “An ambiguity exists where a
provision is susceptible to more than one interpretation and reasonable persons would
4
differ as to its meaning.” Briles, 858 N.E.2d at 213. As with other contracts, the
interpretation of an insurance contract is a question of law. Id.
III.
Discussion
Because the issues raised in the pending motions for summary judgment overlap in
some respects, the court elects to organize the Discussion Section by the issues common
to each motion. The court will begin with whether the household exclusion excludes
Violet, Greg, Jessica, and Preston from coverage under Marshall’s State Farm policy.
A.
Household Exclusion
State Farm’s position is that the household exclusion applies to any liability claims
the occupants of Marshall’s vehicle – Violet, Greg, Jessica, and Preston – may have
against Marshall. The household exclusion is addressed in State Farm’s Motion for
Summary Judgment; Marshall and Violet’s Motion for Summary Judgment; and Jessica,
Greg, and Preston’s Second Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. The parties agree that
Indiana law applies to this case.
The liability section of the policy included an exclusion known as the household
exclusion:
THERE IS NO COVERAGE FOR AN INSURED:
...
2.
FOR BODILY INJURY TO:
a.
YOU;
b.
RESIDENT RELATIVES; AND
5
c.
ANY OTHER PERSON WHO BOTH RESIDES PRIMARILY WITH AN
INSURED AND WHO:
(1)
IS RELATED TO THAT INSURED BY BLOOD, MARRIAGE,
OR ADOPTION; OR
(2)
IS A WARD OR FOSTER CHILD OF THAT INSURED[.]
(Plaintiff’s Ex. B at 7, Docket # 50). Indiana courts have repeatedly upheld the validity
of this exclusion. Trans America Ins. Co. v. Henry, 563 N.E.2d 1265, 1268-69 (Ind.
1990) (“Since at least 1977, our courts have made clear that household exclusion clauses
will be read to be consistent with the public policy of Indiana”); United Farm Bureau
Mut. Ins. Co. v. Steele, 622 N.E.2d 557, 560 (Ind. Ct. App. 1993) (“Indiana Courts have
upheld household exclusion clauses several times.”). The undisputed evidence reflects
that Violet is listed as a named insured on the Declarations Page, (Plaintiff’s Ex. 2,
Docket # 50), and, therefore, meets the definition of “you” under the policy.
Accordingly, the household exclusion applies to Violet.
The more complex question is whether Greg, Jessica, and Preston meet the
definition of “resident relatives.” The policy defines “resident relative” as:
a person other than you, who resides primarily with the first person shown
as a named insured on the declarations page and who is:
1. related to that named insured or his or her spouse by blood, marriage, or
adoption. . . .
2. a ward or foster child of that named insured, his or her spouse, or a
person described in 1. above.
6
(Plaintiff’s Ex. B at 4-5, Docket # 50). As there is no dispute that Greg, Jessica, and
Preston were related to Marshall or that Marshall was the first person shown as a named
insured on the Declarations Page, the portion of the definition of a resident relative at
issue in this case is “a person . . . who resides primarily with [Marshall Tichenor].” (Id. at
4).
“The term residence has no fixed or precise meaning in Indiana law.” Chance v.
State Auto Ins. Companies, 684 N.E.2d 569, 571 (Ind. Ct. App. 1997) (citing Johnson v.
Payne, 549 N.E.2d 48, 50 (Ind. Ct. App. 1990)). However, in cases where it must be
determined whether coverage should be extended to someone other than the named policy
holder, the term should be given a broad meaning. Id. (citing Aetna Casualty & Surety
Co. v. Crafton, 551 N.E.2d 893, 895 (Ind. Ct. App. 1990)). In determining residency
status under an automobile liability insurance contract, Indiana courts consider the
following factors: (1) whether the claimant maintained a physical presence in the policy
holder’s home; (2) whether the claimant had a subjective intent to reside there; and (3) the
nature of the claimant’s access to the policy holder’s home and its contents. Ind. Farmers
Mut. Ins. Group v. Blaskie, 727 N.E.2d 13, 15 (Ind. Ct. App. 2000) (citing Jones v.
Western Reserve Group, 699 N.E.2d 711, 714 (Ind. Ct. App. 1998)). The fact-finder
should also consider “all of the evidence indicative of the claimant’s living habits.” Id.
State Farm relies on Allstate Ins. Co. v. Shockley for the proposition that Jessica,
Greg, and Preston were residing in Marshall and Violet’s home at the time of the
accident. 793 F.Supp. 852 (S.D. Ind. 1991). In Shockley, DeWayne and Karen DesJarlais
7
made arrangements with DeWayne’s aunt, Edith Shockley, to care for their three children
– ages five, two, and less than one – until DeWayne and Karen could find employment,
sell their home in Indianapolis, and buy a new home in California. Id. at 854. The
children were removed from Edith’s home after DeWayne and Karen discovered that they
were sexually molested by Edith’s son. Id. DeWayne and Karen later filed a lawsuit
against Edith. Id. Edith’s insurer, Allstate, sought a declaratory judgment that it was not
liable under Edith’s homeowner’s policy for, inter alia, the injuries to the children. Id. at
854-55. The issue before the district court was whether the children were “residents” of
Edith’s household during the eight weeks that they lived there. Id. at 855.
In determining that the children were “residents” of Edith’s household, the district
court reasoned that “the children were not transients, and manifested more than a ‘mere’
physical presence in the household.” Id. at 857. The court noted that the children lived
with Edith continuously for eight weeks, and were completely dependent on her “for
food, clothing, medicine, shelter, and parental care.” Id. The court also found that the
parties intended for the children to remain with Edith indefinitely. Id. To this end, the
court found that the parameters of the children’s stay – both parents finding work, the sale
of the Indianapolis home, and the purchase of a house in California – were conditions that
“could have remained unfulfilled for some time.” Id. Noting that a person can be a
resident simply by having a fixed abode for the time being, the court held that the
undisputed facts showed that the children were residents of Edith’s household. Id. The
court therefore granted Allstate’s motion for summary judgment. Id. at 859.
8
Although Shockley addresses facts similar to those presented in this case, this court
respectfully disagrees with the decision for this reason: whether one possesses a
subjective intent to stay in a household is a fact-sensitive inquiry. See Alexander v. Erie
Ins. Exch., 982 F.2d 1153, 1160 (7th Cir. 1993) (applying Indiana law and noting that
“summary judgment ought to be used sparingly and with great caution in cases as this one
where subjective intent is a factor in the determination”). The evidence in this case
reflects that the subjective intent of Greg and Jessica to reside for more than a transitory
period at Marshall and Violet’s home is at issue. Greg and Jessica testified that they
moved into Marshall and Violet’s home only until such time as Jessica’s post-partum
depression was under control. Marshall and Violet’s understanding of Greg and Jessica’s
circumstances confirms this fact. Moreover, Greg and Jessica only unpacked their
essentials, and left the rest of their belongings in boxes. Finally, all concerned agree that
Greg actively looked for housing for his family during the time he, Jessica, and Preston
were staying in Marshall and Violet’s home. The fact that Greg and Jessica’s mail came
to Marshall’s home, and Preston’s death certificate reflected Marshall’s address, is not
dispositive. Marshall’s address is where they were staying at that time. In sum, a
reasonable juror could conclude from these facts that Greg, Jessica, and Preston did not
have the intent to reside in Marshall’s home at the time the accident at issue occurred.
In addition, unlike the children in Shockley, Greg and Jessica were not completely
dependent upon Marshall and Violet for their own well-being, or for the care of their son,
Preston. Greg received disability income from the Social Security Administration, and
9
paid Marshall and Violet a small sum to stay in their home. The court therefore finds a
genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether Greg, Jessica, and Preston maintained a
physical presence in Marshall’s home consistent with being a resident. Accordingly, with
respect to the household exclusion, State Farm’s Motion for Summary Judgment is
DENIED; Marshall and Violet’s Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED; and
Jessica, Greg, and Preston’s Second Motion for Partial Summary Judgment is DENIED.
B.
Required Out-Of-State Coverage
In the event the household exclusion applies, State Farm agrees that because the
accident at issue occurred in Kentucky, the policy’s Required Out-Of-State Coverage
provision provides coverage to Marshall. State Farm and the Tichenors disagree,
however, on the extent of coverage. This issue is addressed in Jessica, Greg, and
Preston’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, State Farm’s Motion for Summary
Judgment, and Marshall and Violet’s Motion for Summary Judgment.
The Required Out-Of-State Liability provision reads:
If:
1.
an insured is in another state, the District of Columbia, or any
province of Canada, and as a nonresident becomes subject to its
motor vehicle compulsory insurance law, financial responsibility
law, or similar law; and
2.
this policy does not provide at least the minimum liability coverage
required by such law for such nonresident,
Then this policy will be interpreted to provide the minimum liability
coverage required by such law.
10
(Plaintiff’s Ex. B at 9, Docket # 50). State Farm argues that, pursuant to Kentucky’s
Motor Vehicle Reparation Act (“KMVRA”), the policy provides minimum liability
coverage to Marshall in the amount of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. The
Tichenors argue that the minimum liability coverage provided by Kentucky law, as
interpreted by Kentucky state courts, is the policy’s full limits of $250,000 per person and
$500,000 per accident.
The effect of a policy provision similar to the Required Out-Of-State Liability
Coverage was explained by this court’s prior decision in State Farm Mutual Automobile
Liability Ins. Co. v. Smith, 812 F.Supp. 141 (S.D. Ind. 1992). In that case, Jill Smith was
a passenger in a vehicle owned by her and her father when she was injured in an accident.
Id. at 142. Smith and her father were residents of Indiana, but the accident occurred in
Kentucky. Id. Smith asserted a claim against the permissive user of her vehicle under the
liability coverage provided in her and her father’s policy with State Farm. Id. Smith
argued that the out-of-state coverage provision included in the policy provided that “the
insured shall have the coverage called for under Kentucky law.” Id. at 143. This court
rejected Smith’s contention:
The policy does not say that out-of-state coverage is governed, or the policy
interpreted, by the law of the state in which the collision occurs . . . .
Rather, the policy provides that if the insured becomes subject to another
state’s compulsory insurance laws, then the policy will be read to give such
coverage as is required by law. The court finds such language to provide
for only such minimum mandatory coverage as required by the [KMRA].
Id. at 144.
11
The language in Marshall’s policy provides an even stronger basis than existed for
this court’s holding in Smith. His policy specifically states that “this policy will be
interpreted to provide the minimum liability coverage required by such law.” (Plaintiff’s
Ex. B at 9, Docket # 50). This more explicit language specifically referencing “minimum
liability coverage” was absent in the policy provision at issue in Smith. Accordingly, to
the extent the household exclusion applies and provides no coverage to Violet, Greg,
Jessica, and Preston, Marshall is entitled to the minimum liability coverage provided by
the KMRV – $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident.
In support of the Tichenors’ position, they cite Marley2 v. State Farm Mutual
Automobile Insurance Co., 2002 Ky. App. LEXIS 1923 (Ky. Ct. App. Sept. 13, 2002)
(“Marley I”), wherein the Kentucky Court of Appeals held that the out-of-state coverage
provision in the insured’s State Farm automobile liability policy did not limit his recovery
to the minimum liability amount contained in the KMVRA. Id. at *22. The Tichenors
seize upon that language and argue that the minimum liability amount required by the
KMVRA is full policy limits. Marley I has no applicability to this case for several
reasons.
First, although the Marley I Court found that under traditional choice-of-law
2
They also cite State Farm Mutual Automobile Ins. Co. v. Marley, 151 S.W.3d 33, 36
(Ky. 2004) (“Marley II”). Marley II addressed State Farm’s appeal of the Marley I decision. The
issue before the Kentucky Supreme Court was whether the household exclusion in Larry’s
umbrella policy as applied to automobile liability coverage was enforceable. The Court affirmed
the Court of Appeals in Marley I, and held that such a clause was void and unenforceable. As
Indiana law applies to this case, and, under Indiana law household exclusion clauses in insurance
policies are enforceable, Marley II has no applicability to the issue before the court.
12
principles the law of the State of Indiana should apply, it refused to apply Indiana law
because it held that the household exclusion in the automobile liability policy violated the
public policy of Kentucky. Id. at *18. Thus, Marley I involved the application of
Kentucky law and relies on Kentucky public policy as announced by Kentucky courts.
The present case involves the application of Indiana law. Under Indiana law, household
exclusion clauses in automobile liability insurance policies are valid and enforceable.
Henry, 563 N.E.2d at 1268-69; Steele, 622 N.E.2d at 560; Smith, 812 F.Supp. at 145.
Second, the out-of-state coverage provision at issue in Marley I contained different
language than the provision at issue in this case. Specifically, it provided that the
“coverage so given replaces any coverage in this policy to the extent required by law.”
Marley, 2002 Ky. App. LEXIS 1923 at * 22. Here, the out-of-state coverage provision
requires that the policy provide “the minimum liability required” by the KMVRA.
(Plaintiff Ex. B at 9; Docket # 50). Applying Marley I to the facts of this case reads the
word “minimum” right out of the policy, such that the policy will never be interpreted to
provide the “minimum liability coverage” as agreed to in the policy. Indeed, applying
Marley I to the facts of this case leads to an interpretation of the word “minimum” at odds
with its plain and ordinary meaning – i.e., the maximum coverage provided under the
policy is always provided. Indiana law requires that contract language be construed “so
as not to render any words, phrases, or terms ineffective or meaningless.” Town v.
Plainfield v. Paden Eng’g Co., Inc., 943 N.E.2d 904, 909 (Ind. Ct. App. 2011). Failing to
give effect to the word “minimum” is contrary to Indiana law.
13
For the reasons set forth above, to the extent the household exclusion applies and
provides no coverage to Violet, Greg, Jessica, and Preston, the policy’s Required Out-OfState Coverage provision applies and broadens coverage from zero to the minimum
liability coverage required by Kentucky law; that being, $25,000 per person and $50,000
per accident. Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. Sec. 304.39-110. Accordingly, with respect to the
liability coverage afforded under the Required Out-Of-State Coverage provision in
Marshall’s State Farm policy, State Farm’s Motion for Summary Judgment is
GRANTED to the extent the household exclusion applies, Jessica, Greg, and Preston’s
Motion for Partial Summary Judgment is DENIED, and Marshall and Violet’s Motion for
Summary Judgment is DENIED.
C.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
The issue of whether uninsured motorist coverage would be available to Greg,
Jessica, and Preston is raised in Marshall and Violet’s motion for summary judgment, and
State Farm’s motion for summary judgment. Marshall and Violet ultimately concede that
Marshall’s Lincoln Navigator is an insured vehicle, and that Marshall and Violet are the
named insureds on the State Farm Declarations Page. Thus, the uninsured motorist
provision does not provide coverage to Greg, Jessica, and Preston. Accordingly, Marshall
and Violet’s motion for summary judgment on that issue is DENIED, and State Farm’s
motion for summary judgment is GRANTED.
D.
Rule 11 Sanctions
In Marshall and Violet’s motion for summary judgment, they contend that State
14
Farm’s declaratory judgment action is frivolous pursuant to Indiana Code Section 34-521-1(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, and seek their attorney’s fees. This
motion is denied for several reasons. First, Indiana Code Section 34-52-1-1 provides that
“in any civil action, the court may award attorney’s fees as part of the cost to the
prevailing party” if certain circumstances are met. This is a rule of procedure in the
Indiana state courts. This court has diversity jurisdiction over this case, and thus, federal
procedural law, and not state procedural law, applies. Musser v. Gentiva Health Servs.,
356 F.3d 751, 754-55 (7th Cir. 2004). Moreover, Marshall and Violet are not prevailing
parties – at least at the present time. Second, Marshall and Violet’s contention that State
Farm filed a frivolous lawsuit is based upon their belief that Marley I and Marley II
clearly apply to this case. As previously stated, Marley I and Marley II arose in a
Kentucky state court and both the Marley I and Marley II cases applied Kentucky, and not
Indiana law. Accordingly, State Farm’s lawsuit is not frivolous. Marshall and Violet’s
request for attorney’s fees is DENIED.
Marshall and Violet also filed a Notice to Enforce Rule 11 Sanctions on grounds
that State Farm, “knowing that there was coverage, filed a Complaint in this Court
asserting, contrary to its policy, that there was no coverage . . . .” (Notice, Docket # 73 at
1). Marshall and Violet’s Notice (which the court will treat as a motion) will be denied.
State Farm’s Complaint does not state that there is no coverage; it seeks a declaratory
judgment that the household exclusion and the uninsured motorist provisions of the policy
do not provide coverage, and requests “all other relief just and proper in the premises.”
15
Moreover, pursuant to Rule 11(c)(2), “The motion must be served under Rule 5,
but it must not be filed or presented to the court if the challenged paper, claim, defense,
contention, or denial is withdrawn or appropriately corrected within 21 days after service
or within another time the court sets.” The advisory committee notes to Rule 11 make
clear that, “If, during this period, the alleged violation is corrected, as by withdrawing
(whether formally or informally) some allegations or contention, the motion should not be
filed with the court.”
Here, even if the Tichenors did believe that the Complaint alleged there was
“absolutely no coverage,” they knew that was not State Farm’s position at the time they
filed their Notice. By that time, State Farm had already filed several briefs in which it
stated that there was some liability coverage under the policy’s Required Out-Of-State
coverage provision. Accordingly, Marshall and Violet’s Notice to Enforce Rule 11 is
DENIED.
E.
Oral Argument
Lastly, Marshall and Violet request oral argument on all motions for summary
judgment filed in this case. As the court was able to rule on these motions without the
need for oral argument, the motion is DENIED.
IV.
Conclusion
For the reasons set forth above, the court now rules as follows:
(1) Motion for Partial Summary Judgment filed by Jessica Tichenor, Greg
Tichenor and the Estate of Preston Tichenor (Docket # 41) is DENIED;
16
(2) Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Marshall and Violet Tichenor (Docket
# 45) is DENIED;
(3) Second Motion for Partial Summary Judgment filed by Jessica Tichenor, Greg
Tichenor and the Estate of Preston Tichenor is DENIED (Docket # 65);
(4) Notice to Enforce Federal Rule 11 filed by Marshall and Violet Tichenor
(Docket # 73) is DENIED;
(5) Motion for Oral Argument filed by Marshall and Violet Tichenor (Docket #
74) is DENIED; and
(6) Motion for Summary Judgment filed by State Farm Mutual Insurance
Company (Docket # 63) is GRANTED with respect to the Required Out-Of-State
Coverage provision, and DENIED with respect to the household exclusion.
SO ORDERED this 2nd day of February 2012.
