Vadheim v. Continental Insurance

Washington Supreme Court

Decided March 12, 1987No. 52080-1PublishedCited by 38 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtGoodloe, J.

Dr. James L. Vadheim appeals the trial court's order granting Continental Insurance Company's summary judgment motion wherein the trial court determined that Vadheim was not entitled to any recovery under the automobile insurance policy's underinsured motorist provision. Specifically, the trial court found as a matter of law that Vadheim's insurance policy (1) was unambiguous and (2) that Vadheim was not entitled to stack his under-insured motorist coverages by the number of vehicles insured under the policy. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
