Supreme Court reverses UIM en banc decision

On November 20, in Blood v. Old Guard Insurance Co., the Supreme Court reversed a Superior Court decision and found that Section 1734 of the MVFRL does not contain a requirement for the insurance company to obtain a new sign down form when the insured changes his/her liability limits.

The Court does still note that there are requirements at the issuance of the policy.  Also, even if the statute was read to require a new sign down, the court indicates that the statute does not have a remedy for failing to obtain one like it does when the policy is issued.
