Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, Amy Zacharias, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Ahlers and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (9 pages)
Katelyn Eikenberry appeals the grant of summary judgment in favor of American Family Mutual Insurance Company on her uninsured motorist claim. OPINION HOLDS: Because Eikenberry’s claim against the tortfeasor is definitively barred, she is not “legally entitled to recover” against the insurer and cannot bring an underinsured motorist claim.
