Arizona Supreme Court

Katelin Newman v. Cornerstone National Insurance Company Dba Freedom National Insurance Services

March 18, 2015

Summary

The court held that Arizona's underinsured-motorist statute does not require an insurer's written offer of coverage to include a premium quote. Because Cornerstone's form informed Newman of her right to purchase UIM coverage and acceptance would have bound the insurer, the offer satisfied the statute. The court affirmed the trial court's judgment and vacated the court of appeals' opinion.
