- Title
UNINSURED MOTORIST -- ARBITRATOR'S DETERMINATION -- HIT AND RUN -- COMMON LAW ARBITRATION -- PENNSYLVANIA.
- Abstract
The article focuses on a court case related to a hit and run automobile. The arbitrator's determination that truck was not "hit and run automobile," within uninsured motorist clause of automobile policy, was held to be binding regardless of whether evidence of identity of vehicle would have satisfied jury or whether arbitrator's conclusion constituted mistake in law or fact. The facts showed that insured testified that the vehicle which collided with her car bore the name of a corporation actually existing in the state and that insured subsequently filed a personal injury suit against it. Finding that the arbitrator's decision as to the identity of the vehicle was based on insured's testimony, the court held that there was no irregularity or denial of a hearing in the proceeding that would justify a conclusion that the award was unjust, inequitable or unconscionable.
