Louisiana Court of Appeal April 11, 2001, No. 2000-CA-1532 (Smith v. Doe)

J^PLOTKIN, J.

The primary issue in this appeal is whether a trial court may enter judgment against a defendant insurance company under the uninsured/underinsured motorist (“UM”) provisions of its automobile liability policy issued to a tortfeasor, if the insurance company has never admitted that it provides UM coverage.
