Barney has a PAP with liability limits of 25/50/15 and collision coverage with a $200 deductible. While pulling his boat and trailer—which are not listed in the policy’s declarations—to the lake, he loses control, sideswipes the car he is passing with his trailer, and then rams a farmer’s tree with his car. The losses are as follows:
Barney (medical expenses) | $1,300 |
Barney’s girlfriend (medical expenses) | $2,450 |
Driver of other car | |
Lost income | $10,000 |
Medical expenses | $13,500 |
Mental anguish | $20,000 |
$43,500 | |
Passenger of other car | |
Lost income | $5,500 |
Medical expenses | $3,400 |
$8,900 | |
Barney’s car | $4,000 |
Barney’s boat | $800 |
Barney’s trailer | $500 |
Farmer’s tree | $300 |
Other driver’s Mercedes | $29,800 |
