CURTIN v. STATE FARM MUT. AUTO. INS. CO.

No. 82-599.

449 So.2d 293 (1984)

Thomas John CURTIN and Thomas P. Curtin, Appellants, v. STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, etc., Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

January 19, 1984.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Herbert H. Hall, Jr., of Maher, Overchuck, Langa, Cate & Lobb, P.A., Orlando, for appellants.

James O. Driscoll, of Driscoll, Langston & Kane, P.A., Orlando, for appellee.


SHARP, Justice.

This case poses the question of whether or not State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company's insurance policies provide Thomas John Curtin with uninsured motorist coverage. The trial court entered a summary final judgment for State Farm. We reverse because we interpret the policies as providing coverage, and were we to give effect to an exclusion from coverage in this case, it would violate the mandate of Florida's Uninsured Motorist Statute.
