Description

The trial court granted defendant insurance companies, State Farm Mutual Insurance Company (State Farm) and MFA Mutual Insurance Company (MFA) summary judgment on plaintiffs' petition. The petition sought insurance coverage for injuries plaintiff Elsie Hoerath sustained in an automobile accident. Plaintiff Ernestine Hoerath, Elsie's mother, sought compensation for Elsie's medical expenses and loss of her services and wages. Elsie was injured on October 23, 1977, while she was a passenger in a Pinto automobile owned by both plaintiffs. Elsie's friend, defendant Kenneth McMahan, was driving the Pinto. 1 The vehicle was insured by State Farm, whose policy included ""uninsured motorist coverage"" as required by § 379.203.1. 2 Ernestine was the name insured, and Elsie lived with her; they were both excluded from insured motorist coverage for their own bodily injuries by a ""household exclusion"" clause in the policy. 3 The validity of such a clause was recently reaffirmed by our Supreme Court in Harrison v. MFA Mutual Insurance Co., 607 S.W.2d 137, 139 (Mo.banc 1980), and is not at issue here.
