Eastern District Court Magistrate Judge Reviews Validity of UM/UIM Stacking Waiver Forms

In the case of Gramaglia-Parent v. Travelers Home & Marine Ins. Co., No. 2:-20-CV-03480-TR (E.D. Pa. Dec. 30, 2021 Rice, Mag. J.), the court ruled that an inter-policy UM/UIM stacking waiver form was not invalid simply because it contained additional language in a separate instruction section that was superfluous to the language required by the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law.

As such, the carrier’s Motion for Summary Judgment was granted.
