How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a five month delay in providing copies of the lawsuit was unreasonable as a matter of law
• noting that a close case may be presented where the “insured knows that it is involved in an accident but decides that it is not liable.”
• contrasting District of Columbia law to that of Maryland, which “is more favorable to an insured on the issue of notice in that it requires that the insurer show actual prejudice before it may assert a defense of late notice”
• “In the District of Columbia, where compliance with the notice provisions is a contractual precondition to coverage, failure timely to notify releases the insurer from liability.”
