Price v. Farmers Insurance

Washington Supreme Court

Decided November 13, 1997No. 64257-5PublishedCited by 68 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtSanders, J.

— This dispute centers upon whether previously paid personal injury protection benefits are properly offset against an underinsured motorist award. In a special proceeding to confirm an arbitration award the trial court determined setoff was clearly inappropriate under policy language. Subsequently the Court of Appeals held applicable policy language clearly required the opposite. We agree the answer is clear: neither the trial court in an arbitration confirmation proceeding nor the appellate court which reviews the confirmed award has jurisdiction to even consider the question.
