Description
Tamara Seeck appeals the trial courts entry of summary judgment in favor of Geico General Insurance Company in Ms. Seecks suit seeking $50,000 in underinsured motorist coverage under her Geico policy. The trial court held that the policy did not provide coverage. This Court disagrees. Geicos argument that other policy provisions do not appear to provide coverage is not dispositive because the policys other insurance clause would cause an ordinary insured of average understanding to believe that excess coverage exists where, as here, the insureds injuries exceed the coverage provided by the primary insurance on the occupied motor vehicle. At a minimum, this creates an ambiguity in the policy that, under settled Missouri law, must be resolved in favor of the insured. The judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded.
