Description
The automobiles of appellant William C. Cuppy and appellee John Drake collided in Louisville on May 19, 1960, injuring appellant Iola Cuppy, wife of William C. Cuppy. Appellee General Accident Fire and Life Assurance Corporation, Ltd., was the insurance carrier for Drake. On the day of the collision, Armon Morgan, an adjuster for the insurance company, appeared at the Cuppy home and discussed the collision. Morgan saw the Cuppys twice more. He places the time of his last visit as "the first part of August." Cuppy agrees that the last time they saw Morgan was August 1960. Iola Cuppy substantially agreed on the date, saying she was in the hospital in July and saw Morgan after she got out. Appellants brought suit on September 1, 1961, and, realizing that more than one year had elapsed since the collision, attempted in the complaint to plead around the statute of limitations on the grounds that the adjuster for the insurance company had "promised plaintiffs that it would take care of everything" and thereby "obstructed the prosecution of this action within one year." Appellees relied upon the statute of limitations, KRS 413.140(1) (a) (b), and the statute of frauds, KRS 371.010(4).
