Karp v. Mercury Ins.
Diane Karp appeals from the judgment entered in favor of respondent, Mercury Casualty Company, following the granting of its motion for summary judgment. Respondent denied appellant's claim relating to bodily injuries that she incurred while its named insured, Lionel Rivers, drove her car. Appellant obtained a default judgment against Rivers and later filed this action against respondent for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and declaratory relief. Respondent obtained summary judgment on the ground that appellant's claims were excluded from the policy's insuring clause. Appellant contends that the relevant exclusion is not permissible under Insurance Code section 11580.1, subdivision (c)(5); is contrary to public policy; and violates equal protection principles. Court affirm.
