Statue of Limitations

The appellant was struck by a snowplow owned by the respondents. The respondent’s insurer was declared insolvent and liquidated before a settlement could be reached. The appellant then filed for Uninsured Motorist claim against his own policy, who refused to pay. The primary issue at hand was the statute of limitations, does the statue begin when the insurance company was liquidated or does the statute apply to the original claim. The court ruled that the original claim initiated the statute, so the appellant’s claim of UM coverage was time barred. Sergey Oganov vs. American Family Insurance Group
