Facts
On Sept. 29, 1995, Young was stopped at a red light when a Hillsborough Sheriff's patrol car rear-ended him. Young sued the Sheriff's office, which was self insured. Young also sued his insurer, Progressive Southeastern for uninsured motorist coverage, alleging that self-insured entities would fall within this coverage. The trial court dismissed this claim and, on appeal, the Second District affirmed.
