Court Dismisses Case Based Upon Limitation of Actions Provisions in Insurance Policies

In the case of Sciacca Service Center v. Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s London, No. 2023-CV-20559 (C.P.. Mont. Co. May 15, 2025 Saltz, J.), the court issued a Rule 1925 Opinion requesting the Superior Court affirm the trial court’s decision in granting judgment on the pleadings in favor of the Defendant insurance companies under a limitation of actions provision that was contained in the policy. 

This matter arose out of claims by an insured for recovery under two (2) separate insurance policies for storm damage to the insured’s property.

Based upon the record before it, the court determined that the Plaintiff’s lawsuit was barred by the suit limitation provision  contained in each of the policies at issue. 

As such, the trial court granted judgment on the pleadings in favor of the Defendant insurance companies and, in this Opinion, requested the Superior Court to affirm that trial court decision.
