Law Court: The court held that plaintiff, who was injured in a motorcycle accident caused by a third-party driver, could not recover against his $1 million umbrella insurance policy because the policy did not expressly include coverage and Maine’s uninsured motorist statute, requiring that the amount of uninsured coverage “may not be less than the amount of coverage for liability for bodily injury or death in the policy offered or sold to a purchaser unless the purchaser expressly rejects such an amount,” does not apply to umbrella policies
US District Court ME: In affirming hearing officer’s conclusion that student did not have a “specific learning disability” entitling her to coverage under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (“IDEA”), the court held, in part, that the case did not present the opportunity to determine the validity of the requirement in the Maine special education regulations that a student may only be found to have a “specific learning disability” if she has taken “a peer-reviewed, scientifically-documented test of psychological processing” (the “empirical proof requirement”)
