Description
Oral Argument Date: 05/06/2003 Concurring: Faith Ireland, Barbara A. Madsen, Bobbe J Bridge, Charles W. Johnson, Gerry L Alexander, Susan Owens, Tom Chambers, Mary Fairhurst En Banc While attempting to rescue Frank Foster, trapped inside his overturned pickup truck on Interstate 5, Jeffrey Butzberger was struck and killed by an underinsured motorist. Butzberger's estate brought suit seeking to recover underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage from the insurer of Foster's vehicle and the insurer of the vehicle Butzberger had been driving. The trial court granted summary judgment on several claims, ruling Butzberger was entitled to UIM benefits under the policy covering his vehicle but not under the policy covering Foster's vehicle. The Court of Appeals reversed, holding Butzberger was entitled to UIM benefits under the policy covering Foster's vehicle but not under the policy covering Butzberger's vehicle. We hold Butzberger is entitled to UIM benefits under both policies. Accordingly we affirm in part and reverse in part. FACTS
