OVERTON, Justice.

This is a petition to review a decision of the Third District Court of, Appeal reported as Vetter v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., 423 So.2d 991 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982). The district court certified this case as being in direct conflict with the Fifth District Court of Appeal’s decision in Harbach v. New Hampshire Insurance Group, 413 So.2d 1216 (Fla. 5th DCA 1982). We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.

We have resolved this conflict in our decision in New Hampshire Insurance Group v. Harbach, 439 So.2d 1383 (Fla.1983). For the reasons expressed in that decision, we approve the decision of the district court in the instant case.

It is so ordered.
