Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kenneth R. White, Farrish Johnson Law Office, P.L.L.P., Mankato, MN (for respondent).

OPINION

EDWARD D. MULALLY, Judge.**

Appellant Michael Dvorak challenges the district court's denial of his claim for up to four times the assessed liability of a minor tortfeasor in an underinsured motorist claim under Minnesota's joint and several liability statute.
