$1 millionVerdict

George Sink, P.A. Injury Lawyers attorneys E. Alan Kennington and Ellen McCloy won a judgment reforming a commercial trucking policy so that client Francis Clark Antley, a trucker seriously hurt in a hit-and-run, could pursue up to $1 million in uninsured motorist coverage instead of the $15,000 minimum the insurer claimed applied. The South Carolina Court of Appeals affirmed in a published 2002 opinion, Antley v. Nobel Insurance Co., holding the insurer never made a meaningful offer of additional UM coverage.
