Insurance — UIM coverage

The issue is whether an insured can recover under his or her underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage when the insured’s damages exceed the $250,000 statutory liability cap applicable to a claim against a municipality for negligent operation of a vehicle. We conclude that, under the Truth in Auto Law in effect at the time of this accident, the insurer was obligated to provide UIM coverage. We therefore reverse the circuit court order for summary judgment in favor of the insurer and remand for further proceedings. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
