Insured was required to serve underinsured motorist (UIM) carrier with a copy of pleadings in tort case before the conclusion of the tort trial; thus, serving the carrier after the trial precluded recovery of UIM benefits, even though post-trial motions remained pending.
Underinsured motorist (UIM) carrier was not in privity with either the tort- feasor or his liability insurer, and the doctrine of offensive collateral estoppel did not preclude the carrier from relitigating liability and damages after judgment against tort-feasor.
No action may be brought under the underinsured motorist provision unless copies of the pleadings in the action establishing liability are served in the manner provided by law upon the insurer writing the underinsured motorist provision.

The question which the Board is called upon to decide by this appeal is purely a legal one, to wit: Is a worker's recovery under his employer's underinsured motorist insurance policy a "third person" recovery within the meaning of RCW 51.24, and thereby subject to the Department's reimbursement lien as prescribed by RCW 51.24.060.
In sum, we hold that a worker's recovery under his employer's underinsured motorist insurance policy is not a "third person" recovery within the purview of RCW 51.24, and is therefore not subject to the Department's reimbursement lien as prescribed by RCW 51.24.060(2).
