Court Allows Dual Liability On Uninsured RICHMOND AP Virginia's uninsured motorist law allows an accident victim to collect from two separate liability policies, the state's highest court has ruled. In a decision yesterday, the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals said Bernard H. Bryant Jr. was entitled to a second $10,000 payment from a Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. Bryant was involved in an accident in 1959 with an uninsured motorist, and was awarded $85,000 damages in a judgment.

Since the motorist had no liability protection, the case came under the state's uninsured motorist law. Bryant was protected by two policies totaling only $20,000 of the $85,000 judgment. One was a personal policy from State NOTICE Our Petersburg office will be closed Wednesday, March 10, and Thursday, March 11, for our employees to attend a training course.

H. Talley, III C. RE 3-8986 Farm. The other was a State Farm policy issued to Bryant's father, protecting any occupant of the truck Bryant was driving when the accident occurred. State Farm paid $10,059 on truck policy.

But it held that any payment on Bryant's personal policy was barred because of a clause in the policy barring coverage. But the supreme court reversed a lower court decision which had favored State Farm. The court said the clause in question was voided by the state's uninsured motoirst law which requires in any personal liability contract a statement that the company will pay "all sums" the insured is awarded in any settlement of an uninsured motorist claim. The court noted that the only limit of payment Is the size of the policy itself. Satferfield To Address Joint Meeting David E.

AMBULANCE SERVICE Our firm supported the original proposal that the cities of Colonial rHeiphrs, Hopewell and Petersburg grant a franchise to a private ambulance service company. We feel that one franchised company devoting its full attention to ambulance service would serve you better than eight funeral homes operating ambulances as a sideline.

Accordingly, we announced our willingness to discontinue our ambulance service. There has been considerable opposition to the granting of a franchise. This opposition makes it unlikely that any private ambulance service company will invest in our area, We feel that a full-time ambulance company would benefit our area, but J. T. Morriss Son, Inc.

will continue to offer quality ambulance service to you at fair and equitable rates until and unless the original proposal becomes a reality. J.T.
