UM Waivers and Non-English Speaking Insureds

March 7, 2010
By Dane Ciolino

Although insured may not have been able to read the UM waiver form which was printed in English, the insurance agent spoke with insured in Spanish at all relevant times; thus nothing prevented insured from asking questions if he felt he did not understand what he was signing.  Held, summary judgment upholding the waiver was proper.  RizzoWard, Fourth Circuit, No. 2009-CA-1325 (2/24/10)
