P1036 Enhanced costs under CCP 998, including expert witness fees and costs related to depositions and exhibit preparation, are available in an Uninsured Motorist arbitration, even if adding them to the award makes it exceed policy limits; but since an Uninsured Motorist arbitration is not a personal injury action, pre-judgment interest may not be awarded.CitationPILIMAI v FARMERS (UM limits) 39 C4 133 [See: CCP 998; CivC 3291; InsC 11580.2; Scott v Blount 20 C4 1103, T/AT 8/99; Mercury v SuperCt 19 C4 332]
