Publisher Description
In April 2008, Daniel Pepper was riding a bicycle when a car operated by Yolanda Johnson swerved towards him allegedly causing him to fall from his bicycle and sustain personal injuries. In mid-April 2008, Pepper's counsel, both verbally and in writing, notified Johnson's no-fault insurer, Geico that the accident had occurred. In response, Geico claims examiner Frances Moran opened a claims file on April 18, 2008 when plaintiff's counsel advised Geico that the accident had occurred. Since no police report had been filed, Geico attempted to contact Johnson to secure confirmatory details about the accident. Moran called Johnson at work on April 21, 2008, around mid-day, and was told that Johnson was out in the field. Moran then left a message about the claim together with her return phone number.
