Uwe Kalenka, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Eric Kalenka, Appellant v. Infinity Insurance Companies…

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the determination that the uninsured-motorist portion of Kalenka’s policy did not cover his death. The collision initiated the confrontation, but the vehicle was not sufficiently causally connected to the stabbing, and the evidence did not establish negligent entrustment or negligent maintenance that increased the likelihood of the assault. The court also held that the superior court properly resolved those coverage-related issues in the declaratory judgment action.
