which barred her from filing a bodily injury claim against her insurance company Farmers Insurance Exchange Glorious was injured in a traffic accident while riding in a car driven by her husband Paul Cocking Jr After Glorious filed her claim SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A state law prohibiting a wife from filing an injury claim against her automobile insurance company was ruled constitutional Thursday by the state Supreme Court The law applies only to relatives who reside within the home of a policyholder The unanimous decision written by Justice Frank Richardson struck Religious Group Wants Vegas Shrine Replicaf Kidnap Other Counts Stand In Stayner Case alleging driver negligence Farmers Insurance filed a lawsuit seeking to avoid indemnifying Cocking under his policy A Los Angeles Superior Court had ruled in favor of Glorious deciding the state law was unconstitutional but the Supreme Court reversed the decision policy had an exclusion which said the policy did not cover liability for any bodily injury to a relative including a spouse living with the policyholder Glorious argued the law was against public policy and was void because it denied her equal protection But the Supreme Court said the exclusion was expressly sanctioned by state law and cannot be struck down on public-policy grounds It said the contention that general public policy forbids an insurer from making liability coverage exclusions has been repeatedly rejected in the courts It said Glorious retains a full unrestricted right to sue her husband for negligence ruling the exclusion affects only her right to insurance proceeds to satisfy any judgment she might obtain One basis for upholding constitutionality of the law the court said was the insurance legitimate interest in minimizing future losses from fraud or collusion It said higher premiums would result if relatives were able to sue policyholders for negligence The opinion said relatives living within a home are afforded protection
