Knouse v. Mohamednur

Plaintiff, an Indiana resident, was injured when he attempted to enter a taxi in Chicago. After jury trial, verdict for $69,611 Defendant taxi’s insurer became insolvent 29 months after occurrence. Plaintiff’s own auto insurance policy is not “other insurance” providing coverage for Plaintiff’s claim within meaning of Indiana law, and this interpretation does not conflict with policies underlying creation of Guaranty Fund. Recovery from Guaranty Fund would not be a duplicative recovery. (CONNORS and SIMON, concurring.)
