Charles G. Miller, IV and wife, Brenda Miller, v. Dana R. Mabe and Shane Gant, A/K/A Shane Cooper, and The Glens Falls Insurance Company
01A01-9602CV-00056
Authoring Judge: Judge Holly Kirby Lillard
Trial Court Judge: Judge John A. Turnbull

This case involves the interpretation of an insurance policy. After being struck by a vehicle driven by defendant Dana R. Mabe (“Mabe”), plaintiff Charles G. Miller (“Miller”) filed this personal injury lawsuit against Mabe and defendant The Glens Falls Insurance Company (“Glens Falls”). The trial court granted Glens Falls’ motion for summary judgment, holding that Miller was not covered by the uninsured motorist provision of the Glens Falls policy because he was not “occupying” the insured vehicle at the time he was injured. Miller appealed the trial court’s decision. We affirm.

02A01-9508-CV-00169
Authoring Judge: Judge Holly Kirby Lillard
Trial Court Judge: Judge George H. Brown

This is a suit for damages brought by Plaintiff Brian Wolney (“Wolney”), with his wife Melissa Wolney, against Defendants Wells Fargo Armored Service Corporation (“WFA”) and Lisa M. Emmons (“Emmons”). Wolney sued for personal injuries he sustained in an accident while riding as a passenger in a vehicle driven by Emmons, but owned by WFA. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of WFA, finding that Wolney’s tort claim against WFA was barred because Wolney was WFA’s statutory employee. The Wolneys appeal the grant of summary judgment. We affirm.
