KELLER, Justice,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent and would reverse the decision of the Court of Appeals and reinstate the trial court’s summary judgment for Appellant. Appellee could not recover damages in excess of $100,000.00 from the City of Montgomery because of the City’s immunity under Missouri law. Accordingly, Appellee had no “legal right to recover” additional damages from the City, and the trial court correctly determined that no underinsured motorist (UIM) benefits were payable to Appellee under the policy with Appellant. See KRS 304.39-320; Coots v. Allstate Insurance Co., Ky., 853 S.W.2d 895 (1993).
