Geico General Insurance Company v. Harold Howard Breffle

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue is whether an insured's failure to provide notice of a collision within "as soon as possible" constitutes a condition precedent to insurance coverage. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's decision, holding that Breffle's delay was unreasonable and unexcused because he could not reasonably have known his injuries required uninsured motorist coverage until after significant treatment had occurred.
