Notes of Decisions
Under this section, insurer who failed to file notice of cancellation required by ORS 806.270 was liable only for required statutory coverage and not for excess amount of lapsed policy. Oregon Automobile Ins. Co. v. Thorbeck, 283 Or 271, 583 P2d 543 (1978)
Legislative intent in using word “coverage” in this section is to encompass not only risk insured against but also monetary amount of insurance. Oregon Automobile Ins. Co. v. Thorbeck, 283 Or 271, 583 P2d 543 (1978)
Family exclusion provision of policy is ineffective only as to statutorily required minimum amounts; insurer may limit additional coverage by any exclusion not otherwise prohibited by law. Collins v. Farmers Ins. Co., 312 Or 337, 822 P2d 1146 (1991); Farmers Insurance Co. v. Mowry, 350 Or 686, 261 P3d 1 (2011)
