As Christina Kastner was leaving a shopping mall, a man forced her to get into the passenger
Question:
As Christina Kastner was leaving a shopping mall, a man forced her to get into the passenger seat of her car. He took Kastner to a wooded park and sexually assaulted her in her car. In the park, she opened the passenger door to attempt escape, but was held in by her automatic seatbelts. Kastner later sought coverage from her automobile insurer, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (State Farm), for her personal injuries. The personal injury portion of her automobile policy provided that State Farm would pay “for bodily injury to an insured, caused by an accident resulting from the use or operation of a motor vehicle.” Are Kastner’s personal injuries covered by her automobile insurance policy? Explain.
