- A decision by the Arizona Supreme Court in a class-action lawsuit significantly expanded the rights of Arizona drivers who hold uninsured and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage and were injured or killed by drivers who without enough insurance, say attorneys at leading automotive and consumer rights law firm Hagens Berman.
- This means drivers injured or killed by uninsured or underinsured motorists may have claims for significantly more insurance benefits under Arizona law, in addition to what they might have already been paid by their insurers, according to attorneys at Hagens Berman’s Phoenix office.
- The insurer disagreed that the plaintiff should be able to “stack” these coverages, so the plaintiff sued on behalf of all Arizona drivers in similar situations.
- Last year, the Arizona Supreme Court agreed to rule on the key legal issues.
