In American Mutual, we looked to the amount actually paid to each claimant for the damages suffered and relied on Raitt v. National Grange Mutual Insurance Co., 111 N.H. 397, 285 A.2d 799 (1971), and Gay v. Preferred Risk Mutual Insurance Co., 114 N.H. 11, 314 A.2d 644 (1974), to conclude that “[a]n insured tort-feasor is to be considered as uninsured for the purposes of the statute to the extent that the amount available from the tort-feasor’s insurer to any one injured person is less

These cases, beginning with Raitt v. National Grange Mutual Insurance Co., 111 N.H. 397, 285 A.2d 799 (1971), prohibit an insurer from setting off an insured’s compensation by any amount paid by joint tortfeasors, other than an uninsured motorist tortfeasor, unless the compensation would exceed the insured’s actual damages.

Our decision in this case is controlled by our prior holdings in Raitt v. National Grange Mutual Insurance Co., 111 N.H. 397, 285 A.2d 799 (1971), and Anderson v. Fidelity & Casualty Co. of N.Y., 134 N.H. 513, 594 A.2d 1293 (1991).

Then in Raitt v. National Grange Mutual Insurance Co., Ill N.H. 397, 285 A.2d 799 (1971), we considered a provision in uninsured motorist coverage reducing recovery by all sums collected from any other person jointly or severally liable with the uninsured motorist.

The matter of uninsured motorist protection was considered again in Raitt v. National Grange Mutual Insurance Company, 111 *214 N.H. 397, 285 A.2d 799 (1971).
