4415 REVIEW GRANTED Arbitration is the appropriate forum for determining an insured's rights to underinsured motorist benefits under the terms of a policy, so even after the insured obtained a judgment against an underinsured motorist in excess of that motorist's policy limit, a bad faith claim against the insured's own insurer based on its failure to pay benefits under his underinsured motorist coverage is premature until arbitration demanded by the insurer is complete.CitationO'HANESIAN v STATE FARM (Underinsured Arbitration) 145 CA4 1305 [See: InsC 11580.2; Rappaport-Scott v Interinsurance Exchange 146 CA4 831, T/AT 2/07
