Tennessee Supreme Court April 13, 1981 (Bolin v. Tennessee Farmer's Mutual Insurance Co.)

OPINION

HARBISON, Chief Judge.

This case arises under the uninsured motorist statute, T.C.A. §§ 56-7-1201 to -1206, but it arises in somewhat unusual circumstances.

Appellants were plaintiffs in a tort action in which a liability insurance carrier conducted the defense of the alleged tort-fea-sor.
