Description
Third party plaintiff, Willard Trantham, (hereinafter referred to as plaintiff or Trantham), appeals from a summary judgment holding that third party defendant, Old Republic Insurance Company, is liable under its insurance policy for a maximum of $25,000 for injuries sustained by plaintiff. We affirm. Plaintiff was a passenger in a rental truck driven by James Farrow which overturned injuring plaintiff. Farrow's personal insurance carrier was State Farm. The rental truck was owned by Ryder Truck Rental Company and covered by an insurance policy issued by Old Republic. State Farm was requested by Farrow to provide him a defense and coverage. State Farm then filed this action for declaratory judgment as to its liability. Trantham was joined as a defendant. He filed a cross-claim against Farrow for his injuries and a third party claim against Old Republic. In the third party claim he asserted that the limit of Old Republic's liability was $1,000,000 for plaintiff's injuries. Old Republic sought and the trial court granted a summary judgment that Old Republic's maximum liability to Trantham was $25,000. The trial court also denied Trantham's motion for summary judgment and subsequently entered an order that there was no just reason to delay appeal. Rule 74.01. The only issue before us is the limit of liability provided by the Old Republic policy. 1
