2 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 194d
Insurance — Personal injury protection — Insured who had alighted from vehicle and proceeded to front door of home and who admittedly had no physical contact with vehicle which caused her to fall and injure herself not entitled to PIP coverage
PATRICIA CONNER, Appellant, vs. AETNA CASUALTY AND INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee. 19th Judicial Circuit in and for St. Lucie County, Appellate Division. Case No. 92-749-CA-25. L.T. No. 91-2186-CC-09. Decision filed March 26, 1993. Appeal from County Court, Tom Walsh, Judge. Robert J. Compton, Ft. Pierce, for Appellant. Louis B. Vocelle, Jr., Vero Beach, for Appellee.
(PER CURIAM.) AFFIRMED. We find a remote nexus between the injury and the vehicle, but that the act of alighting had terminated upon Appellant’s overt act of proceeding to the front door of her home. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company v. Yanes, 447 So.2d 945 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984). Therefore Appellant was not an occupant of the vehicle, and so not covered by PIP insurance. In addition, there were no material facts in dispute. Appellant admits in her deposition, page 59, that she had no physical contact with the vehicle which caused her to fall and injure herself.
The Motion for Attorney’s Fees filed by Robert J. Compton, Esq., counsel for Appellant is therefore DENIED. (FENNELLY, C.J., MAKEMSON and KANAREK, JJ., concur.)
