[WSBARP] Insurance & SOL

[Robert R. Cole]

Long time unsophisticated clients just came in.  Gov't water line by 
their house burst a little over 3 years ago, causing much damage to 
their house and personal property.  They have been working with an 
adjuster pretty much since then. House itself was fixed.   Adjuster has 
been very slow to respond, loses docs, etc. CL never received the 
itemization of all the destroyed stuff that was prepared by the flood 
repair people. Arguably should have been settled long ago.  Now the 
adjuster wants to make a small partial payment of some of the 
out-of-pocket damages and a couple items, and have them sign a partial 
release saying that amount would be credited to any judgment they were 
to receive; CL think not even in the ballpark of their total loses.  I 
somewhat recall case law that insurance companies cannot rely on statute 
of limitations in situations such as this, but cannot find what I'd like 
to.  So I once again look to the collective wisdom.  Thanks.
