 Victor v. State Farm Fire and Casualty Co. (1/5/96), 908 P 2d 1043
Victor claims that the $50,000 paid by Lichter should be deducted from his total damages, $293,626.80, not from the $100,000 policy limit.
Victor opposes the dismissal and moves for summary judgment, arguing that State Farms' [sic] obligations are unfulfilled under the policy because the amount Victor received from Lichter should not have been offset against the $100,000 policy limit.
Victor contends that the phrase "amounts payable" in Section III of the policy should be interpreted to mean "total damages caused by the uninsured motor vehicle." Thus, the payments Victor received from Lichter and from the medical payments coverage should offset Victor's total damages but not his UIM coverage limit.

 Pope Victor III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was elected on 1086-05-24, but showed genuine reluctance to accept the embarrassing honour thus thrust upon him, and after his tardy consecration, which did not take place till 1087-05-09, he withdrew at once to Monte Cassino.
The countess Matilda of Tuscany soon afterwards induced him to return to Rome; but, owing to the presence of the antipope Clement III (Guibert of Ravenna), who had powerful partisans, Victor's stay there was short.
That August, he held a synod of some importance at Benevento, at which Clement III was excommunicated, lay investiture forbidden, and a kind of crusade proclaimed against the Saracens in Africa.
