Court of Appeal of Louisiana, First Circuit.

May 10, 2002.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

F. Scott Kaiser, Freddie Pitcher, Jr., Kimberly Hood, Baton Rouge, Counsel for Plaintiffs/Appellees Louis Pitts, Sr., et al.

Ian A. MacDonald, Craig Richardson, Lafayette, Counsel for Defendant/Appellant Progressive Security Ins. Co.

Before: CARTER, C.J., PARRO and IAN W. CLAIBORNE, JJ.


CLAIBORNE, Judge.

At issue in this appeal is whether the Louisiana anti-stacking statute, La. R.S. 22:1406, precludes plaintiff, Louis Pitts, Sr., from recovering under an uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM) provision of an automobile liability insurance policy issued to him on a vehicle owned by him but not involved in the accident in question. For the following reasons, we reverse the trial court judgment.
