Insurance: Auto Accident – Uninsured Motorist – Law Of The Case

Where an insurer in an auto accident case appealed the trial court’s determination that the tortfeasor was operating an uninsured vehicle, under the law-of-the-case doctrine the issue may not be revisited, and the insurer also failed to demonstrate that the court erred in stacking the policies or in finding the phrase “the same damages” to be ambiguous.

Judgment is affirmed.
