Doyle v. Metropolitan Property & Casualty Insurance Co

In Doyle v. Metropolitan Property & Casualty Insurance Co., 252 Conn. 79, 743 A.2d 156, 161 (Conn. 1999), the tortfeasor had a $ 100,000 single-limit liability policy, and the insured claimant had a policy with split-limit UIM coverage of $ 100,000 per person and $ 300,000 per accident. Rejecting claims similar to those made by plaintiff here and construing a statute similar to 941(f), the court held that the tortfeasor was not underinsured because the proper comparison was between the tortfeasor's liability limit and the per person limit of UIM coverage available to the single insured claimant. 743 A.2d at 161-62.
