Chaffin v. Kentucky Farm Bureau Insurance Companies
Kentucky Supreme Court
1Opinion of the Court
LAMBERT, Justice.

While these cases differ in some respects, the predominant issue in each is whether an insurance company may enforce an antistacking provision in the uninsured motorist coverage it writes.
