United National Insurance v. DePrizio
Indiana Supreme Court

1Opinion of the Court
SULLIVAN, Justice.
Terrence DePrizio was fatally injured on the job by an uninsured motorist. DePrizio collected the policy limits from his employ-er’s auto insurance carrier and sought to collect additional damages from its umbrella insurance carrier. The umbrella carrier responded that its policy did not cover excess uninsured motorist claims. In response to a certified question, 1 we hold that Indiana’s underinsured motorist statute requires an umbrella policy that covers excess third-party automobile liability claims to also cover excess uninsured motorist claims.
