Abstract
Automobile insurance policies have three main types of liability coverage: bodily injury (BI), uninsured motorist (UM), and underinsured motorist (UIM). When an insurance policy pertains to multiple vehicles and one of them is involved in an accident, often there becomes a question of how much coverage the insured should be provided – the limits for all the insured vehicles or merely the limits for the involved vehicle? This Article explains what the answer should be where BI coverage is invoked, and why recent decisions from Illinois’ Fifth District Court of Appeals necessitate intervention by the Illinois Supreme Court.
