How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • applying Florida law and explaining that gen- erally parties may contract around applicable state law in an insur- ance policy, so long as law and public policy do not void such a contract
  • analyzing the meaning of the terms and definitions provided in the insurance policy to determine whether a scooter constituted an uninsured motor vehicle under the policy and whether the insurance company owed the policy holder coverage
  • “Because an insurer can provide more [uninsured motor ve- hicle] coverage than the law requires, we decline to disregard the Policy’s broader definition of uninsured motor vehicle in favor of a more limited statutory definition of motor vehicle.”
