Below is a recent personal injury case of interest. It shows that one should not sign a release without the UM carrier's permission if a UM claim is going to be pursued.
Mississippi Farm Bureau Cas. Ins. Co. v. Peteet, 2021-IA-01420-SCT (Civil – Insurance)
Reversing the denial of a motion to dismiss by a UM carrier, holding that the insured’s execution of a settlement agreement with the at-fault driver unlawfully cut off the UM carrier’s right of subrogation and the UM carrier therefore had no duty to pay the UM claim.(9-0)
