Respondent states it does not oppose being ordered to arbitration. Respondent included as part of one of its exhibits to the opposition a declaration Petitioner’s counsel apparently served on Respondent regarding the non-existence of any worker’s compensation claim. And Respondent filed an opposition without any objection to the method of service, thereby waiving the service defect.

Accordingly, based on Respondent’s agreement and willingness to submit the claim to arbitration, the petition is GRANTED and Respondent, along with Petitioner, are ordered to submit their underinsured motorist dispute to arbitration in accordance with Plaintiff’s insurance policy with Respondent.

Accordingly, the request for attorney fees is DENIED. Petitioner’s counsel is ordered to give notice of this ruling.
