UM -- WAIVER -- WRITTEN CONSENT TO JUDGMENT EXCLUSION.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the decision given by a U.S. court in the lawsuit Barbour v. Slaughter, in the year 1976. The court held that where the insured attempted to negotiate with automobile insurer, made a demand for arbitration and requested that the insurer take over prosecution of her personal injury suit against the uninsured tortfeasor, and the insurer failed to cooperate and, in face of the running of the statute of limitations, the insured proceeded to reduce her claims against the uninsured motorist to judgment, the insured had waived the policy requirement for written consent by the insured to any judgment as well as the right to demand arbitration.
