Wise, et al. v. American Standard Ins. Co., No. 11-3100 (8th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseAppellants appealed from the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of American Standard. The district court concluded that appellants were not entitled to recover underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage benefits under four American Standard policies because the tortfeasor's vehicle was not an "underinsured motor vehicle" under the policies' plain language. The court held that the district court correctly concluded that appellants were not entitled to recover under the UIM policies because stacking them did not result in an amount exceeding the tortfeasor's liability. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
Court Description: Civil case - insurance. District court did not err in concluding plaintiffs were not entitled to recover under the policies in question because stacking them still did not result in an amount exceeding the tortfeasor's liability insurance.
