Case Details
The Supreme Court of North Carolina addressed whether payments from underinsured motorist carriers are a 'collateral source'. The plaintiff obtained a verdict against the defendant for $263,000, and the Court held that UIM payments should not be credited against the judgment.
Additional Notes
The Supreme Court of North Carolina clarified the collateral source rule, holding that UIM payments should not reduce a judgment against a tortfeasor. Thomas Olik authored the article.
