Travelers Indemnity Company of Illinois v. Joseph N. Dibartolo

OPINION OF THE COURT

EDWARD R. BECKER, Chief Judge.

This case requires us to predict whether the Pennsylvania Supreme Court would hold that Pennsylvania law allows a corporation to waive uninsured/underinsured motorist (“UM”) coverage for its employees under a company insurance policy. If we decide that it can, we must then address whether the District Court properly granted summary judgment on the ground that the corporation in this case did so waive. We answer both questions in the affirmative; hence we affirm the judgment of the District Court. 1
