UM/BI Question MVA accident
I'm stuck on this case scenario and need advice from my fellow PI attorneys. (I may be overthinking it) - Our clients were involved in a motor vehicle accident on May 28, 2023. At the time of the incident, no insurance information was exchanged; however, they did obtain the phone number of the individual who struck Plaintiff 1’s vehicle. After a few days, the at-fault party stopped responding. - Shortly thereafter, our clients believed they had located the vehicle involved parked on the street. They took a photograph of a white Mercedes parked on the street and sent it to us. - upon receipt of this photo, we filed a claim with that vehicle's Insurance Company. The claim was subsequently denied based on the insured’s statement that they were never involved in an accident. - We then submitted the claim to MVAIC, which denied coverage due to the existence of UM/SUM benefits under Plaintiff's policy with GEICO. - We forwarded all available documentation to GEICO. However, GEICO denied the claim, citing the existence of a bodily injury (BI) claim and asserting that a statement from a claimant alone is insufficient to establish liability or their insured's involvement in the incident. - We decided to move forward the AAA (American Arbitration Association) and filed a complaint regarding the UM coverage. - GEICO decided to file a motion requesting the court to issue a stay order on the arbitration. - A hearing was held but no decission has been issued by the court yet. - *BUT MY PROBLEM NOW IS -->the SOL will be met at the end of May. * *NEED YOUR HELP what can i do?* Sincerely, *Keetick L.
