Description
Under the doctrine of collateral estoppel, an insured may not invoke underinsurance coverage in order to compel the insurer
to arbitrate the amount of damages resulting from an automobile accident where the insured received a judgment in the amount
of $18,360.76 in a prior tort suit by the insured against the tortfeasor and the parties agree that the tortfeasor's bodily
injury liability limit is $100,000. Petitioner Donald Costello seeks review of a court of appeals decision affirming the trial court's dismissal of a suit to
compel arbitration of Costello's right to recover underinsured motorist (UIM) benefits under his policy with respondent Aetna
Casualty and Surety Company (Aetna).
