Outcome
The appellate court reversed both the district court's grant of summary judgment to the insurer on the waiver theory and its denial of summary judgment on the forfeiture theory, holding that the insurer failed to obtain a valid written rejection of underinsured motorist coverage and that the insured's failure to provide notice of settlement was not a complete bar to recovery.
