OPINION
FOLEY, Judge.
This appeal is from a judgment granting partial summary judgment to respondent Joanne Klang and denying a motion for summary judgment by appellant American Family Insurance Group, and from a final judgment awarding Klang $809.75 plus interest, costs and disbursements. On appeal, American Family contends that Klang’s claim for underinsured motorist benefits is barred because she settled with the underinsured tortfeasor without notifying it as required by the policy of insurance and by Schmidt v. Clothier, 338 N.W.2d 256 (Minn.1983). We agree and reverse.
