The Legal Intelligencer (12/19, Duffy) reports, "In a significant victory for uninsured drivers who are victims of accidents through no fault of their own, a federal judge has predicted that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is poised to lift a court-imposed ban on their seeking awards of economic damages."
In the case, "Corbin v. Khosla, US District Judge Joel H. Slomsky found that although the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law specifically prohibits an uninsured motorist from recovering first-party benefits in a suit against an insurer, the law includes no such bar for suits against alleged third-party tortfeasors." Slomsky wrote, "The bar on recovery in Section 1714 only addresses recovery from insurance companies."
