Dottie Harris filed suit on April 23, 1985, against the alleged tortfeasors responsible for her injuries resulting from an automobile accident on May 5, 1983. Allstate Insurance Company, which provided Harris with uninsured motorist coverage, was served with a copy of the complaint on July 12, 1985, two months after the expiration of the two year statute of limitation. The trial court granted Allstate’s motion to dismiss and Harris appeals.
