4725 In a claim under Uninsured Motorist coverage in an auto policy, the Insurance Code requires arbitration only of disputes regarding whether the insured is entitled to recover against the uninsured motorist and the amount of the damages; arbitration is not required to determine coverage issues, but is required to determine the value of the claim, even though the insured has obtained a default judgment against the uninsured motorist.CitationBOUTON v USAA (UM Arbitration) 43 C4 1190 [See: InsC 11580.2; O'Hanesian v State Farm (RevGrtd) 145 CA4 1305, T/AT 3/07; Bouton v USAA (RevGrtd) 145 CA4 1441; Van Tassel v Superior Court 12 C3 624]
