Weaver v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co.
Supreme Court of Missouri
1Opinion of the Court
*819PRICE, Judge.
James and Joy Weaver filed suit against State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company to recover under the uninsured motorist coverage of their automobile policy. The policy provides that the insured must notify State Farm as soon as “reasonably possible” after an accident or loss. Because the Weavers did not notify State Farm until one year after Mr. Weaver was injured in an accident, the trial court entered summary judgment in State Farm’s favor. We reverse and remand because State Farm did not prove actual prejudice resulting from the untimely notice.
