A federal judge has allowed evidence regarding the details of a plaintiff’s underinsured motorist policy and the liability coverage of a third-party tortfeasor in a dispute between a woman and her insurance company over UIM coverage.
U.S. District Judge James M. Munley of the Middle District of Pennsylvania, in ruling on a motion in limine from Progressive Direct Insurance Co., denied attempts to block evidence on the plaintiff’s insurance premiums for her UIM policy, the amount of liability insurance available to the third-party tortfeasor and whatever the plaintiff recovered from the tortfeasor’s policy. Munley concluded the evidence was relevant and not overly prejudicial to the case of Noone v. Progressive Direct Insurance, in which plaintiff Margaret Noone’s UIM policy was the contract at issue.
