Opinion:
Per Curiam.
In our recent opinion in Savoie v. Grange Mut. Ins. Co. (1993), 67 Ohio St.3d 500, 620 N.E.2d 809, we held:
"Each person who is covered by an uninsured/underinsured policy and who is presumed to be damaged pursuant to R.C. 2125.01 has a separate claim subject to a separate per person policy limit." Savoie, supra, paragraph four of syllabus.
This holding directly answers the question posed by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
