In a cause of action for injuries to a child caused by a motor vehicle accident arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of the vehicle insured under a motor vehicle liability policy, it is necessary that there be some type of causal relationship between the insured vehicle and the accident. Florida courts have varied on what type of connection there should be between the use of the motor vehicle and the injury in question. However, the Florida Supreme Court has imposed a stricter standard, requiring that liability not extend to remote relations, and adopting the following limitations upon the insurer's liability:

• The accident must arise out of the inherent nature of the automobile;
  
  

  The accident must arise within the natural territorial limits of an automobile;

  The actual use of the automobile must not have ended;

  The automobile itself must produce the injury, as opposed to merely contributing to cause the condition that produces the injury.

  For example, Florida courts have held that coverage exists in a case where a child died after ingesting drugs that were being stored in the motor vehicle of an insured pharmaceutical representative who was storing drugs in the car for work purposes.
