9. Fiona and Franklin just bought a new Ford Fiesta. They love taking long drives with baby Finn and Fido. One day, they are going the wrong way on the highway and get into an accident. Thankfully they’re ok, but the driver of the other car has a fractured femur. Her medical costs and lost wages total $20,000. Franklin is worried that their auto insurance policy won’t cover the injured driver’s losses since the accident was Franklin’s fault. Is he right? _ ______________________________________________________________________________ _ ______________________________________________________________________________ 10.
