CASE SUMMARY:
In a written Opinion, Judge Kallman ruled that where plaintiff did not give written notice to the PIP carrier until over two years after the accident, plaintiff was precluded by §3145 of the no-fault statute for maintaining a lawsuit to recover no-fault benefits. The Court held that §3145 "is a statute of limitations" and thus the failure to give notice within the one-year limitation period precludes lawsuits after one year.
