324 P.3d 870 (2014)

Sally Ann BEAVER, a single woman, Plaintiff/Appellee, v. AMERICAN FAMILY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, a Wisconsin corporation, Defendant/Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Arizona, Division 1.

May 20, 2014.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rowley Chapman & Barney Ltd., By Kevin J. Chapman , Mesa, for Plaintiff/Appellee.

Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, LLP, By Greg S. Como , Spencer T. Proffitt , Phoenix, for Defendant/Appellant.


OPINION

NORRIS, Judge.

¶ 1 The principal question in this appeal is whether Arizona's Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Act prohibits an insurer from denying underinsured motorist coverage to a family member who lives with the named insured and who otherwise would be entitled to such coverage but for her ownership of a motor vehicle. When, as here, the policy does not include the family member as a person insured under the policy, the answer is no.
