Description
Action to recover damages resulting from an automobile accident. On October 21, 1955, the plaintiff was driving his automobile
in an easterly direction on Highways 12 and 18 in Dane county, Wisconsin, when it was struck from the rear by a car driven
by Delmar Westphal. Farmers Mutual Automobile Insurance Company was the insurer of the Westphal automobile. About a week after
the accident an adjuster for the insurance company called on the plaintiff at his home and obtained a signed statement from
him. The adjuster left a postal card addressed to the insurance company with the plaintiff which he could mail and thereby
get in touch with the adjuster. Plaintiff was contacted by the adjuster approximately ten times between the date of the accident
and June 15, 1957, with reference to settling any claim the plaintiff might have against Mr. Westphal. At the time of his
last call the adjuster offered to pay the plaintiff the damage to his car, his medical expenses, and for the hired help during
the period plaintiff was disabled. On October 27, 1958, the postal card signed by the plaintiff was received by the insurance company. Because no notice of
injury had been served no attention was paid to the card. On December 19, 1958, plaintiff addressed a letter to the defendant
requesting that attention be given to his claim. On December 24 the district claims manager answered by letter and advised
that since no notice of injury had been served and no action started within two years following the date of the accident the
company denied any liability for personal injuries but did make an offer to settle plaintiff's claim for damage to his car.
