Larry Drabot recently succeeded on a Declaratory Judgment motion in Milwaukee County whereby the court found that a personal auto policy’s exclusion for “delivery related business” was clear and unambiguous; the exclusion included use of the insured vehicle while returning from a pick-up or delivery and excluded coverage for injury incidental to or emanating from use of the vehicle for a delivery related business. Therefore, the court ruled that the policy did not provide coverage for a food delivery driver who had just completed a delivery, had his delivery service “app” running and was on his way to a different location to find more food delivery business. Although the driver had not accepted any new deliveries, his stated purpose for using the vehicle at the time of the accident was to continue looking for deliveries.
