|||||
Overview: Summary judgment entered in favor of the insurer was reversed because the additional language in the insurer's policy issued to the insured indicated that it would extend coverage to hit-and-run accidents and that the coverage thus went beyond the scope of that required by Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 304.20-020, the UM statute.

|||||
Overview: Though employer rebutted presumption that claimant's unexplained work-place fall was work-related, there remained a permissible inference that it was work-related. This inference, plus ALJ's finding that the fall was not due to presyncope and was not idiopathic, constituted substantial evidence that the fall arose out of the claimant's employment.

|||||
Overview: The court dismissed disciplinary charges against an attorney. It was improper to apply the Rules of Professional Conduct to him at a time when he was not licensed, violating orders of resignation, or practicing law without a license, and he was prejudiced by the lack of testimony from former clients as to matters they had personally experienced.

| Moore v. Globe Am. Cas. Co., 2005-SC-000544-DG,
SUPREME COURT OF KENTUCKY, December 21, 2006, Rendered
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: There was no fault with the organization and structure of an insurer's application for its policy pursuant to Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 304.20-020(1) as the application contained blocks for UM/UIM coverage which could have been appropriately rejected. A trial court's finding that a vehicle owner rejected UM/UIM coverage under was proper.

Overview: Defendant's conviction for three counts of rape in violation of Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 510.060 was reversed because the jury should have been instructed on the lesser-included-offense of attempted rape when there was evidence that defendant never actually had intercourse with the 14-year-old juvenile.
