Overview: Even though a trucking company's insurance policy did not specifically list the company's semi truck as an insured vehicle, the fact that the company's carrier paid out its policy limits to a deceased husband's widow indicated that the semi truck was insured. Therefore, summary judgment in favor of the widow's insurer was properly granted.

View this case - free  

Overview: A trial court erred in releasing the full amount of an appeal bond to a judgment creditor since the creditor had contractually agreed not to enforce the judgment against the judgment debtor in any amount in excess of the debtor's insurance coverage in exchange for the creditor obtaining the rights to pursue a bad faith claim against the insurer.

Overview: Daily reporting to a probation officer did not amount to the type of freedom restrictions that deserved credit time; therefore, a trial court properly denied defendant's motion for credit time after his daily reporting probation was revoked and he was ordered to serve the balance of his sentence, namely 10 years, for a rape conviction.
