FOIL, J.

This appeal arises out of a dispute over insurance coverage for an automobile accident. The UM insurer challenges the trial court's judgment allocating the plaintiff's compensatory damages and punitive damages so that the punitive damages would be paid under the primary insurance policy and the compensatory damages would be paid under the UM policy. For the reasons that follow, we reverse.
