WALSH, Justice:

In this appeal from the Superior Court, we address the question of whether a joint tortfeasor is entitled to a post-judgment credit for the proceeds of uninsured motorist coverage received by a plaintiff from her insurer. In rejecting a remittitur claim, the Superior Court concluded that the uninsured carrier could not be deemed a joint tortfeasor for contribution purposes. We agree and affirm.
