YELVERTON, Judge..
Laura Romero, injured in an automobile accident, sued several defendants including Champion Insurance Company, alleging that this defendant was her uninsured/underinsured motorist insurer. Champion resisted the suit denying coverage. The trial judge concluded that there was coverage by virtue of a binder issued by an authorized agent of Champion and in effect on the day of the accident. Finding the tortfeasor was underinsured, the trial judge awarded judgment in Laura Romero’s favor against Champion for the amount of its coverage, $10,000. Champion appealed. We affirm.
