(Correcting court designation.) Defendant received benefits from workers' compensation claim for injuries from accident during course of her employment. Defendant also sought benefits under her unbinsured motorist policy. Court properly granted summary judgment for insurer in that action. Court found setoff provision in uninsured motorist policy enforceable, unambiguous, and not against public policy, and found that it provides that amounts payable under uninsured policy will be reduced by amount of all payments made or due under the Workers' Compensation Act. (TURNER and APPLETON, concurring.)
