New York Court of Appeals
Aurelio Argentina, Respondents v. Otsego Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Defendant and Third-Party…
July 5, 199586 N.Y.2d 748
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the insureds gave timely notice of the slip‑and‑fall accident because their good‑faith belief that the injured party would not sue was reasonable under the circumstances. The Court found the lower courts' factual findings on reasonableness supported by the record.
