Umialik Insurance Company v. Safet Miftari, Umialik Insurance Company v. Safet Miftari

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court, holding that Alaska statutes do not permit an insurer to exclude uninsured/underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage for a vehicle that is insured under a different policy, and that res judicata bars both the insurer from relitigating the non‑economic damages judgment and the plaintiff from seeking economic damages that were not claimed in the prior suit.
