Heading: Pollard’s “Right to a Remedy”

Text: Pollard argues that at the time she filed her complaint, she enjoyed a civil right under the Ohio Constitution to the UM/UIM coverage under her employer’s automobile policy. Section 16, Article I of the Ohio Constitution states: All courts shall be open, and every person, for an injury done him in his land, goods, person, or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law, and shall have justice administered without denial or delay. OHIO CONST. art. I, § 16. As discussed above, Pollard did not have a vested property right in her claim for UM/UIM benefits at the time she filed her lawsuit. Furthermore, the district court afforded Pollard a full opportunity to be heard. Pollard essentially argues that she has the right to have the court ignore Galatis and apply Scott-Pontzer. We reject her argument.
