Dircks v. The Travelers Indem. Co. of Am., 2017 UT 73 (Oct. 17, 2017).

The federal court certified the question whether a company that had purchased liability coverage for an employee’s vehicle was also required to purchase underinsured motorist insurance. The Utah Supreme Court held that any vehicle that is covered by a policy’s liability insurance must also be covered by underinsured motorist insurance, unless the coverage is waived by a formal acknowledgment.
