Description
Argued December 5, 2003 Opinion The dispositive question in this reservation asks whether, under the underinsured motorist provision of the plaintiff's insurance policy, the plaintiff was entitled to compensation, for bystander emotional distress arising from his having witnessed bodily injury to his son, to the extent of the ""each person"" bodily injury coverage limit applicable to the plaintiff, when the defendant already had paid to the plaintiff's son the full amount of the ""each person"" bodily injury limit available to the son and the policy provided that the maximum amount that the defendant was required to pay ""for all claims by all persons for damages for bodily injury to any one person is the 'each person' Uninsured Motorist Coverage limit ....""Weanswer the question in the negative. The following facts and procedural history are undisputed. On June 18, 1995, Nicholas A. Galgano was a passenger on a 1979 Honda motorcycle operated by his father, the plaintiff, Nicholas D. Galgano, when the motorcycle was struck by an uninsured motor vehicle. The plaintiff's son sustained severe bodily injuries, and the plaintiff sustained bodily injuries and experienced severe emotional distress as a result of his having witnessed the bodily injuries to his son.
