uninsured and underinsured motorist coverages shall be delivered or issued for delivery
unless coverage is also made available for damage to, or the destruction of, any motor

to the terms and conditions of the coverage, to the proceeds of any settlement or
judgment resulting from the exercise of any rights of recovery by the insured against
the person or organization legally responsible for the injury or destruction of the
property, including any amounts recoverable from an insurer that is or becomes the
subject of insolvency proceedings, through such proceedings or in any other lawful
