Arizona Supreme Court
Katelin Newman, Plaintiff/appellant v. Cornerstone National Insurance Company Dba Freedom National Insurance…
March 18, 2015237 Ariz. 35
Summary
The Arizona Supreme Court held that the statute requiring insurers to make underinsured motorist coverage available and offer it by written notice does not require the notice to state the coverage's premium. Because the insurer's approved selection form informed Newman of her right to purchase the coverage and would have bound the insurer upon acceptance, the offer satisfied the statute. The court affirmed the trial court's judgment, vacated the court of appeals' opinion, and denied the insurer's attorney-fee request.
