The petition of the plaintiffs Scott Menard and Darren Connolly for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 208 Conn. App. 303, 264 A.3d 1034 (2021), is granted, limited to the following issues:
"1. Did the Appellate Court correctly determine that the plaintiffs’ post-traumatic stress disorder with physical manifestations is not a compensable bodily injury under General Statutes § 38a-336 (a) (1) (A) ?
"2. Did the Appellate Court correctly determine that the common-law rule precluding double recovery required that the underinsured motorist damages awarded to the plaintiff Darren Connolly be reduced by the amount that a third party paid to Connolly in settlement of a Dram Shop Act claim?"
