Supreme Court allows late accident compensation claim when insurer failed to notify policyholder of coverage termination.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the plaintiff's claim for accident compensation filed after the statutory limitation period had expired. The insurer argued the claim was time-barred under the Accident Insurance Act, but the court found the insurer had failed to notify the policyholder of the coverage termination. Consequently, the court held that the insurer's failure to inform the policyholder prevented the limitation period from expiring against them.
Regesto Legislator
