Royal-Globe Insurance Co. v. Craven
Citation:
585 N.E.2d 315 (1992)Facts
On September 19, 1979, Theresa Craven was injured in a hit-and-run accident when an unidentified vehicle forced her car off the road and into a wall barrier. She suffered serious injuries, remained in intensive care for several days, and was hospitalized for twenty-three days. After her release, she gradually resumed normal activities, stopped medication a week after leaving the hospital, and returned to work approximately three months after the accident. Craven formally notified Royal-Globe of her claim on January 23, 1980, more than four months after the accident. Royal-Globe denied her claim on April 6, 1981, and Craven filed a demand for arbitration on December 12, 1984. Royal-Globe then sought a declaratory judgment that it was not liable due to untimely notice and that the claim was barred by the statute of limitations.
