1997The better approach is that taken in Kraly v. Vannewkirk (1994), 69 Ohio St.3d 627 , 635 N.E.2d 323 , which, in effect, applies a discovery rule to determine when an uninsured motorist claim accrues.

1995The decedent’s widow made an uninsured motorist claim under her insurance policy, which, like the policy in this case, required that the bodily injury must “arise out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of the uninsured motor vehicle.” Kish at 49 , 21 O.P.3d at 31, 424 N.E.2d at 293 .

1991The court finds this to be a distinction without a difference because the fact that the Kish decedent was not occupying his vehicle was not relevant to the uninsured motorist claim, but rather, precluded coverage for a claim made under the “family compensation provision” of the policy which provided coverage for accidents “suffered while occupying * * * [the insured’s] auto.” Id.

2008The policy defined uninsured motor vehicle as including "a `hit-and-run motor vehicle'" and further defined the latter term as a vehicle "which causes bodily injury to an insured arising out of physical contact of such vehicle with the insured or with a vehicle which the insured is occupying at the time of the accident[.]" Id. at 110 . {¶ 23} The insured maintained he had complied with the physical-contact requirement of the policy by virtue of the fact that there was "constructive" physical contact between his vehicle and the unidentified vehicle, due to the fact that he struck a concrete cul
