Edwards v. Farmers Insurance
Washington Supreme Court
Decided November 17, 1988No. 54666-5PublishedCited by 13 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtDurham, J.
— A claimant seeks to recover under two underinsured motorist policies issued by Farmers Insurance Company (Farmers). Farmers argues that two provisions— one entitled "Limits of Liability", and the other entitled "Other Insurance" — prohibit stacking these recoveries. We hold that stacking is not precluded by the limits of liability provision. However, we are unable to conclusively determine if the other insurance provision prohibits double recovery and we remand the case for further fact-finding on this issue.
