Description

This is an appeal from a declaratory judgment involving the effect of a release. On May 7, 1982, Patrick Hoban was operating a vehicle when it was involved in an accident with a motorcycle operated by Thomas Whatton. Hoban was insured by Mid-Century Insurance Company/Farmers Insurance Company of Arizona (Farmers) and had policy limits of $15,000 per person. Whatton was insured by Progressive Casualty Insurance Company (Progressive) and his policy had underinsured motorist coverage. Whatton made a claim against Farmers for his injuries and Farmers settled for the policy limits of $15,000, which it paid. It also sent Whatton a standard release which Whatton altered by adding the following language, "[T]his release shall not affect in any way or prejudice [T]homas Whattons right to make and perfect an under insured motorist claim persuant [sic] to his own insurance policy." Whatton then made a claim against Progressive under the underinsured motorist coverage.
