Insurance — automobile policies — household resident exclusions

Robert M. Sorrin appeals the trial court’s grant of summary judgment/declaratory judgment to Sentry Insurance Company (Sentry). Sorrin argues that the trial court erred in deciding that there were no factual disputes that prevented summary judgment/declaratory judgment being granted to Sentry. Specifically, Sorrin submits that there were facts and inferences which, if viewed in the light most favorable to him, would support a finding that the driver of the car that struck him, William Pearson, was a resident of his mother’s home at the time of the accident, thereby making him an insured under his mother’s automobile insurance. We agree and reverse. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
