Balarin v. Allstate Insurance Co. (481 So. 2d 1263, 1986)

PER CURIAM.

The final order dismissing the instant complaint to compel arbitration is reversed and the cause is remanded to the trial court with directions to reinstate the said complaint. We reach this result for the following briefly stated reasons.

First, in a suit by an insured, as here, to compel arbitration on an underinsured motorist claim against one of two underin-sured motorist carriers, it is not required that the insured also join the second under-insured motorist carrier as a necessary party to the suit. Second, the trial court, accordingly, committed reversible error in dismissing the instant suit when the insureds refused to amend the complaint herein to add the second of two underin-sured motorist carriers as a party to this suit and stood on their complaint brought against only one of their underinsured motorist carriers. See State Farm Fire & Casualty Co. v. Glass, 421 So.2d 759, 761 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982); O’Donnell v. Chamberlain, 372 So.2d 191 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979); § 682.03(1), Fla.Stat. (1983).

Reversed and remanded.
