Deison v. Progressive American Insurance
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 3, 1998 · Farmer, Gross, Stone
712 So. 2d 432; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 8837; 1998 WL 281689 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Deison v. Progressive American Insurance

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s entry of summary judgment. Because the employer of Appellant, David Deison, is the named insured and Appellant is the listed driver, his children do not qualify as insureds under the language of either the uninsured motorist coverage under the policy, or section 627.727, Florida Statutes. See Pearcy v. Travelers Indem. Co., 429 So.2d 1298, 1298-99 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983). Therefore, proof that the employer knowingly rejected or reduced uninsured motorist coverage for the children was unnecessary. See § 627.727(1), Fla. Stat. (1997).

STONE, C.J., and FARMER and GROSS, JJ., concur.
