September 18, 197877 N.J. 563

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a vehicle carrying liability insurance meeting the statutory minimum limits does not qualify as an "uninsured highway vehicle" under uninsured motorist (UM) endorsements, thereby denying UM coverage to the Gorton plaintiffs, and reversed the lower court in the Dempsey case, remanding for entry of judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
