A policyholder’s lawyer has asked the Georgia Court of Appeals whether insurance companies should be allowed to forgo updating the statute of limitation periods for claims in their insurance policies if that information is later included in that policy’s endorsements.

During oral arguments before the court Thursday, the crux of plaintiff-appellant’s counsel J.L. King’s argument was that this system is confusing for laypeople and was made doubly convoluted as legislation and case law further complicated the rules around statutes of limitations for insurance claims in the mid-2000s and 2010s.
