Department of Education v. Blevins, 707 S.W.2d 782 (Ky. 1986) In this important case, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled that both the mother and father of a child killed in a school bus accident had independent claims for the loss of their child's affection and companionship against the Department of Education in a Board of Claims action.
State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Mattox, 862 S.W.2d 325 (Ky. 1993). In this appeal, the Kentucky Supreme Court established the right of an injured person to "stack" their added no-fault benefits from multiple automobile liability insurance policies.
Potter v. Eli Lilly and Co., 926 S.W.2d 449 (Ky. 1996). In this landmark opinion, the Kentucky Supreme Court recognized the trial judge's inherent "right to determine that its judgments are correct and accurately reflect the truth."
Owensboro Mercy Health System v. Payne, 24 S.W.3d 675 (Ky. App. 1999). This appeal involved the novel issue of whether portions of the video trial transcript could be shown to the jury in closing argument. We argued that the use of a video transcript in closing argument was proper. The Court of Appeals agreed, and upheld the jury's verdict in this medical negligence case.
State Farm v. Marley, 151 S.W.3d 33 (Ky. 2004). In this case of first impression in Kentucky, the Kentucky Supreme Court agreed with our claim that the family exclusion in an umbrella liability policy was void as violative of Kentucky public policy.
