Court Finds Plaintiff Not Entitled to UIM Coverage.

We obtained summary judgment in favor of our insurance company client. The plaintiff sought UIM coverage from our client as a resident relative of the client’s named insured. The plaintiff was a named insured on another policy which provided UM/UIM coverage. The court granted our motion for summary judgment based upon an exclusion in the client’s policy that excluded UIM coverage for any family member if that family member is a named insured on another policy providing UM/UIM motorists coverage. The court found this exclusion to be clear and unambiguous and to reasonably inform the plaintiff that he was not entitled to UIM coverage under the policy. The court rejected the plaintiff’s argument that the exclusion was vague, ambiguous and unenforceable.
