Ohio Supreme Court

1Opinion of the CourtPfeifer, J.
The issues in this case are straightforward. Did Lumbermens offer UM coverage to Johnston? If so, did Johnston reject the coverage? Did National Union offer UM coverage to Johnston? If so, did Johnston reject the coverage? For the reasons that follow, we find that National Union did not offer UM coverage and that therefore Johnston could not reject the coverage. We also find that Lumbermens offered UM coverage and that Johnston did not expressly reject the offer.
It is well settled that insurance companies must offer UM coverage with every automobile liability or motor vehicle liability policy…
