STEPHENSON, Justice.

In this appeal, an insurer claims that the trial court erred (1) in refusing to hold as a matter of law that an insured had failed to give the insurer notice of an accident as soon as practicable; (2) in excluding from evidence an out-of-court statement made by the insured to the insurer's agent; and (3) in requiring the insurer to pay attorneys' fees incurred by an injured party's uninsured motorist carrier.
