DR. DAVID BRUCE COFFEY v. BUCKEYE HOME HEALTH CENTER, INC.

Syllabus

In the Circuit Court for Scott County (\the Trial Court\), Dr. David Bruce Coffey filed a complaint alleging that Buckeye Home Health Center, Inc. (\Buckeye\) breached its lease agreement with Dr. Coffey by failing to obtain fire insurance coverage on its leased portion of Dr. Coffey's building. The building burned down during Buckeye's tenancy. Buckeye filed a motion for summary judgment, arguing that it was impossible to obtain fire insurance coverage for only a portion of the building as required by the lease. The Trial Court granted Buckeye's motion. Dr. Coffey appealed. Upon our review, we conclude that there is a genuine issue of material fact and reverse the Trial Court's order dismissing Dr. Coffey's complaint.

Judges: Chief Judge D. Michael Swiney
