Warren v. Reliance Insurance

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided August 12, 1983No. 284, 1282 and 1283PublishedCited by 11 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

HOFFMAN, Judge:

These appeals were argued before this Court en banc to determine the appropriate statute of limitations under the No-fault Motor Vehicle Insurance Act (No-fault Act) 1 for actions brought against assigned claims obligors. 2 We find that once a claimant files a timely claim with the Assigned Claims Bureau, he is entitled to written notification of rejection by the assigned obligor and then at least sixty days in which to bring an action. A claimant must, in any event, however, bring the action within four years of the accident even if written notice has not yet been received.
