Nelson, Zentner, Sartor & Snellings by George M. Snellings, IV, Monroe, for Appellee, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company.

Before STEWART, CARAWAY and PEATROSS, JJ.


CARAWAY, J.

Following a collision of vehicles, appellants timely sued the negligent driver and soon reached a settlement with the driver and her liability carrier. Within two years of the dismissal of the first action, appellants sued their uninsured motorist ("UM") carrier, who raised the exception of prescription. The trial court granted the exception and dismissed the suit against the UM carrier. Finding error in that ruling, we reverse.
