Insurance : Uninsured Motorist – Named Insured

Where an insurer challenged a judgment in favor of a driver in the amount of $100,000 under the uninsured motor vehicle liability coverage of two policies, the judgment is reversed and remanded because the policies did not contain an ambiguity, and the two separate uninsured motorist policies applied with $25,000 in coverage as a category B insured under the Impala policy and $50,00 in coverage as a category A insured under the Torrent policy for $75,000 in coverage.

Judgment is reversed and remanded.
