Partners Thomas Quinn (Madison, NJ), Lisa Wilson (Dallas, TX) and Peter Moore (McLean, VA) will present “Just When You Thought It Was Simple, UM/UIM Comes Around,” a Wilson Elser Insurance Master Class presentation, on June 22, 2023. The presenters will discuss this area of insurance coverage with practical applications that can vary drastically from state to state. They will provide a coherent overview of UM/UIM coverage principles, and outline some of the key differences that can vary across jurisdictions. Topics include statutory coverage requirements, the primacy of coverage, stacking, the right to an offset for available liability limits, and how the application of exclusions can vary from state to state, regardless of policy language or intent, based on statutory and public policy considerations. This session also will cover “bad faith” in the context of UM/UIM and outline some of the common pitfalls insurers face when evaluating their coverage obligations. A Q&A session is included.
