Arizona Stacking & Multiple Insurance Policies
Arizona stacking analysis asks whether more than one independently applicable coverage may be combined for the same loss. The inquiry is especially important for UM/UIM and must account for the current Arizona statute, policy wording, premium structure and controlling Arizona Supreme Court decisions.
- Identify every policy and every separately stated UM/UIM limit.
- Determine whether each coverage independently protects the claimant and loss.
- Review anti-stacking, other-insurance and anti-duplication provisions.
- Apply current Arizona statutory law and the most recent appellate authority, including recent Arizona Supreme Court stacking decisions.
Do not assume that multiple vehicles automatically create multiple recoverable limits, or that anti-stacking language automatically resolves the issue without current statutory analysis.
