Supreme Court of New Jersey

Rutgers Casualty Insurance Company, Plaintiff-Respondent and Cross-Appellant v. Chris Vassas, Defendant-Appellant…

January 18, 1995139 N.J. 163

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the insured’s failure to timely notify his UIM insurer of the arbitration award, judgment, and warrant of satisfaction precluded the insurer’s subrogation rights, that the two‑year statute of limitations for subrogation began at the time of the accident, and that the insured’s breach of contractual notice duties barred his UIM claim.
