STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellant, v. Gerald A. ST. GODARD and Rachael St. Godard, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Rehearing Denied September 8, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Frances F. Guasch of Luis E. Ordonez & Associates, Miami, for appellant.

Barbara J. Compiani and Jane Kreusler-Walsh of Jane Kreusler-Walsh, P.A., and Christopher M. Larmoyeux of Larmoyeux & Bone, P.L., West Palm Beach, for appellees.


FARMER, J.

This appeal stems from a trial judge's decision not to limit a judgment on an uninsured motorist's (UM) claim to the policy limits. Because there was no basis pleaded or litigated in this case for damages greater than the UM coverage afforded by the insurer, we reverse.

Before suit was filed, the attorney for the insureds wrote their motor vehicle insurance carrier, requesting the information specified in section 627.4137.1
