Shay v. Shay

In Shay v. Shay, 164 Ohio App.3d 518, 2005 Ohio 5874, 843 N.E.2d 194, the court held that a household exclusion was invalid without the statutory authorization that former R.C. 3937.18(K)(2) provided. However, Shay involved the S.B. 267 version of the statute, which eliminated R.C. 3937.18(K)(2). Furthermore, at the time Shay was decided, insurers were required to offer UM/UIM coverage that complied with R.C. 3937.18. Currently, insurers need not offer UM/UIM coverage and R.C. 3937.18(I) authorizes insurers to write terms and conditions in their policies that preclude UM/UIM coverage.
