LAPATA v. PROGRESSIVE CAS. INS. CO.

S-91-11.

79 Ohio App.3d 65 (1992)

LAPATA et al., Appellants, v. PROGRESSIVE CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY et al., Appellees.

Court of Appeals of Ohio, Sandusky County.

Decided March 31, 1992.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael T. Murray, for appellants.

Mark P. Prajsner and Anne Koester, for appellee Hasselbach & Paul Agency, Inc.

John A. Coppeler, for appellee Progressive Casualty Insurance Company.


SHERCK, Judge.

This is an appeal from a grant of summary judgment issued by the Sandusky County Court of Common Pleas which upheld an insurance company's denial of underinsured motorist coverage to its insured. We reverse the decision of the trial court and, in so doing, find policy language that requires an insured to make an underinsured arbitration demand within one year of the accident to be unreasonable.
