Syllabus

INSURANCE: In an insurance-coverage dispute, the trial court did not err in dismissing an insured's complaint against its insurer where the policy required the insured to report a claim no later than 90 days after the end of the policy period, and the insured did not report the claim within the timeframe required by the policy: the insured's argument that its renewal of the policy created an expectation of continuous coverage, and that it need only have reported the claim within a reasonable time is not supported by the plain language of the policy moreover, the notice-prejudice rule does not apply to policies in which notice must be made to the insurer within a set timeframe, so that the insurer here was not required to show it was prejudiced by the insured's untimely notice.
