Court of Appeals of North Carolina November 17, 1981, 8126DC245 (Moore v. Beacon Insurance)

HEDRICK, Judge.

In order to determine the propriety of summary judgment for plaintiff, we first consider the nature of the protection afforded plaintiff by the uninsured motorist provision in his automobile liability policy. Uninsured motorist coverage provides the same protection to a person injured by an uninsured motorist as one injured by a tortfeasor with standard liability coverage.
