AC39253 - Doyle v. Universal Underwriters Ins. Co. ("The plaintiff, Robert Doyle, appeals from the summary
judgment rendered by the trial court in his favor in the amount of $5924 in
this action to recover underinsured motorist benefits under an automobile insurance
policy issued by the defendant, Universal Underwriters Insurance Company
(Universal). The plaintiff suffered injuries in a collision between his automobile
and that of an underinsured motorist, Neil
Nilson. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly determined
that he was collaterally estopped from relitigating the amount of damages awarded
to him in binding arbitration with Nilson. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm
the judgment of the trial court.")
