Outcome

The appellate court affirmed summary judgment for the insurance defendant NJM, holding that plaintiff has no viable underinsured motorist (UIM) claim because the tortfeasor's liability policy limits ($100,000) were equal to plaintiff's UIM coverage limits ($100,000), and thus the vehicle was not underinsured under N.J.S.A. 17:28-1.1(e).
