I would think that suicide meant the policy holder not the person who hits you.
This means progressive will say EVERYTHING was a suicide. "no seatbelt?" IT WAS A SUICIDE therefore no payout.
Progressive is the worst company when it comes to being reasonable. Of course this jury is the one responsible for being so easily manipulated.
Progressive must have a similar lawyer although his successful reinterpretation of liability in cases of suicide probably isn't going to last long.
After all, when the guy's SUV hit the truck he was not yet dead. 99% of the injury had been done by that time, and forces were already set in motion that would result in the trucker's unemployment.
Seems to me Progressive is liable until the instant their insured died, even if not after that time.
This Progressive defense lawyer must be a humdinger to work with when the group is splitting bills at the diner.
