I\’d bet the attorney involved treated it as a liability claim. Often they wait until right at the end of the statute of limitation period on the bet that defense witnesses will not be found. Sneaky snake met the backfire.
From the article it looks like the claim was invalid because the notice of loss wasn\’t done in a timely matter. 2 years wait is a little long, I guess.
Thanks for answering my question. Seems to me if time had not been the reason the judge had dismissed it, the case wouldn\’t have stood much of a chance, anyway. Wouldn\’t the deaths be expected or intended bodily injury? What do you expect when you leave babies in a closed car for hours?
Anyone who has gone from one room to another and forgotten what they were going there for can understand forgetfulness. With new rules (because of airbags) of putting kids in the back seat there has been a sharp increase in the number of these kind of deaths. When the kids go to sleep the driver, not necessarily old drivers, can forget they are in the car.

What type of coverage were they seeking payment under?
whatever happened to personal responsibility? I wouldn\’t leave our dog in the car for five minutes on a hot day.
These guys are creeps.

I would assume the policy was a life policy since it was sold to the grandfather.
I figured it was an liability policy of some sort. A life policy would not decline payment for a late claim notification.
Found this on the internet – it was an automobile insurance policy –

Pretty much as I thought, but it doesn\’t look like it was a lawyer error. How sad.
