The Kansas Supreme Court has ruled that an insurance company should cover a student who was in a private vehicle when he was injured in a crash on the way to a soccer match.
The ruling stems from a 2006 accident in which Jesus Rodriguez was seriously injured while traveling in a pickup to the first soccer match of his high school season. Rodriguez filed a claim under the Kansas State High School Activities Association’s Mutual of Omaha insurance policy. Mutual of Omaha denied the claim.
In the ruling, the high court reversed an appeals court decision and held that private vehicle transportation to a school soccer match during which a student is injured qualifies as “covered travel.”
The case returns to the district court in Kansas City.
