Insurance

In this survey period from June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2009, the courts stepped in to help those injured in motor vehicle incidents collect additional sums from uninsured motorist carriers even when the available uninsured motorist (UM) coverage may be equal to or less than the tortfeasor's liability coverage. Another notable development is found in a string of cases involving victims of mortgage fraud. The victims prevailed in all three cases.
