Jewell v. Kentucky School Board Ass'n

Opinion of the Court by

Justice VENTERS.

This case arises from a motor vehicle collision where the injured party, at work when the collision occurred, pursued her remedies against her under-insured motorist insurer. Among other issues, we address the question of whether an injured worker, as assignee of her workers’ compensation carrier’s subrogation rights, may enforce those rights against her underin-sured motorist insurance provider. Although prior decisions have addressed separate elements of the issue, we find none that have application to the combination of factors present here.
