Moyer, C.J., Cook and Lundberg Stratton, JJ., dissent.

Douglas, J.,

concurring. I concur for the reasons set forth in my concurrence in Stickney v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. (2000), 88 Ohio St.3d 504, 727 N.E.2d 1286.

Lundberg Stratton, J.,

dissenting. I respectfully dissent because I do not agree that either Wolfe v. Wolfe (2000), 88 Ohio St.3d 246, 725 N.E.2d 261, or Moore v. State Auto. Mut. Ins. Co. (2000), 88 Ohio St.3d 27, 723 N.E.2d 97, applies to these consolidated cases. Case Nos. 99-219, 99-223, and 99-224 were filed by the decedent’s administrator and three of the decedent’s adult children, who are seeking underinsured motorist coverage under their own individual automobile insurance policies for the wrongful death of their mother as a result of an automobile accident occurring on July 8, 1996. Case No. 99-222 was filed by the administrator and decedent’s husband, who asserted one proposition of law that challenges the constitutionality of R.C. 3937.18(A). They also argue that the husband has a separate claim for damages not subject to the per-person limits of the underinsured motorist coverage of his automobile insurance policy, contrary to R.C. 3937.18(H).

These cases raise multiple issues that I do not believe may be resolved by the application of either Wolfe or Moore. The issue of whether the insurance contract constitutes a new or a renewal contract was not raised in the court below. This court will not ordinarily consider a claim of error that was not raised in any way in the appellate court and was not considered or decided by that court. State v. Williams (1977), 51 Ohio St.2d 112, 5 O.O.3d 98, 364 N.E.2d 1364, paragraph two of the syllabus; Toledo v. Reasonover (1965), 5 Ohio St.2d 22, 34 O.O.2d 13, 213 N.E.2d 179, paragraph two of the syllabus.

Furthermore, I do not believe that the analysis of R.C. 3937.18(A)(1) in Moore has any application to an analysis of R.C. 3937.18(H), nor do I agree that Moore should be applied to R.C. 3937.18(A)(2). However, to the extent that the majority believes that these cases apply, I respectfully dissent for the reasons set forth in the dissenting opinions in Wolfe v. Wolfe, 88 Ohio St.3d at 252-255, 725 N.E.2d at 267-269, and Moore v. State Auto. Mut. Ins. Co., 88 Ohio St.3d at 33-36, 723 N.E.2d at 103-105.

Moyer, C.J., and Cook, J., concur in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
