Supreme Court Reverses View on Insurance Liability
The Ohio Supreme Court refused a review of Clinton County findings awarding James Bernard Brown $3,750 from Celina Mutual Casualty Co for injuries in an auto crash. Brown was hit by a car owned by Dorothy Kennedy's father, driven by Bennett White. Kennedy and White were students. The insurer denied liability since the car was not driven by a Kennedy family member. The court also stood by an Erie court of appeals ruling favoring Moats in a false arrest dispute with Anna Sackness, reversing a common pleas verdict and appellate ruling.
