No Permission? No Coverage!
What could go wrong with a young driver, with her own auto insurance, needing to get back home from a party? Wait, we’re not done. The quest to return home occurs at night, the driver is only 18, she’s physically ill from drinking too much alcohol and is unable to operate her car. Finally, her passenger is several years younger than the driver and only has a learner’s permit. Well, that’s a lot going on and the situation grew worse. The car’s owner/driver passed out but, before doing so, also mentioned that she wanted to go home but did not wish to abandon her car. The former passenger attempted to drive them home. However, she ended up in a one-car accident. The night was snowy, the roads were tough to navigate and she crashed the vehicle. The insurer denied coverage. The permit-holding teen thought her older friend’s statements gave her permission to drive the car. Upon later questioning, the car owner did not recall giving actual permission. The insurer relied on its policy wording to classify the loss as ineligible. Please click here for more details, including the court’s take on the insurance company’s position. R.I.P., Mitch Gwinn

My dad, Mitch Gwinn, passed away peacefully overnight. An over 10-year fight with Parkinson's had taken a significant toll on him. So, while I'll miss his presence dearly, I'm relieved knowing he no longer has to struggle with the debilitating symptoms of the disease. I'm comforted knowing that while the last few years were particularly challenging for him, he managed to live a life filled with many great experiences. He had a loving family, traveled the world, routinely enjoyed the company of great friends, was an accomplished reader and historian/genealogist, and had a passion for antique cars that fulfilled him to the very end. I'm also grateful his legacy will live on thru me and my siblings, Kaley Gwinn, Ansley Gwinn, Mike Reagan, and his beloved granddaughter, Mary Eloise. While I may not have caught his "car bug", I've come to realize the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. So, with that in mind, I'll mix a stiff gin martini (our favorite cocktail) and raise a toast to a life well lived. Rest in peace, Paps. I love you!
