Description
Defendant Hillyer was injured in an accident involving an uninsured motorist. Thereafter, she made claim against her own insurance carrier for damages proximately caused by the negligence of the uninsured motorist. The matter was submitted to arbitration which resulted in an award in defendants favor for $7,150. The insurance carrier refused to pay defendant the entire sum awarded, contending that by the terms of the policy, it was entitled to a reduction from the sum awarded, in an amount equal to an award defendant had received in workmens compensation benefits arising out of the same accident and injuries. The insurance company brought this declaratory judgment action to determine if it was entitled to reduce the award owing to defendant by the amount of the workmens compensation award. The trial court allowed the reduction and rendered judgment in the sum of $3,000. The defendant appeals.
