In his recent
April
5, 2013 decision in the case of
State
Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company v. Roshan, No. 2010-Civil-3105
(C.P. Lacka.
Co. 2013 Mazzoni, J.), Judge
Robert A. Mazzoni entered a verdict in favor of Plaintiff, State Farm, in a
nonjury proceeding concerning a declaratory judgment action involving a claim
for automobile insurance benefits with regards to a “miss and run
accident.”

Judge Robert A. Mazzoni
Lackawanna County |
The issue before the court was whether the Defendant injured
party complied with the notice requirements of the MVFRL 75 Pa. C.S.A. §1702
concerning an accident with “an unidentified motor vehicle.”
Judge Mazzoni found, based upon the record before the court, that the
Defendant injured party failed to report the accident to “the police or proper
governmental authority” within thirty (30) days as required under §1702. As such, a non-jury verdict in favor of State Farm was entered by the court.
