    No. 81-173.

    June 9, 1982.
    Chris W. Altenbernd of Fowler, White, Gillen, Boggs, Villareal & Banker, P. A., Tampa, and Whittaker, Pyle, Stump & Webster, Orlando, for appellant.
    Vincent A. Lloyd of Lloyd & Brown, Fort Pierce, for appellee.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Gerald B. Curington, Asst. Atty. Gen., and Pat Maro-ney, State Treasurer’s Office, Tallahassee, for intervenor/amicus — State of Florida.
    Larry Klein, West Palm Beach, for ami-cus curiae — The Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers.
   PER CURIAM.

The trial court here held that Sections 627.736(1) and 627.737(1) and (2) of the Florida Statutes (1979) are unconstitutional because they violate the “right to redress” clause of Article I, Section 21 of the Florida Constitution.

On the authority of Chapman v. Dillon, 415 So.2d 12 (Fla.1982), we reverse.

This cause is remanded for proceedings not inconsistent herewith.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

LETTS, C. J., and ANSTEAD and BER-ANEK, JJ., concur.
