TITLE 26 - INSURANCE CODE
CHAPTER 18 - DISABILITY INSURANCE POLICIES
ARTICLE 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 26-18-109 - Notice of claim; loss-of-time benefit.

(a) "Notice of Claim: Written notice of claim shall be given to the insurer within sixty (60) days after the occurrence or commencement of any loss covered by the policy, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible. Notice given by or on behalf of the insured or the beneficiary to the insurer at .... (insert the location of the office the insurer designates for the purpose), or to any authorized agent of the insurer, with information sufficient to identify the insured, is deemed notice to the insurer."

(b) In a policy providing a loss-of-time benefit which may be payable for at least two (2) years, an insurer may insert the following between the first and second sentence of the provision specified in subsection (a) of this section: "Subject to the qualifications set forth in this provision, if the insured suffers loss of time because of disability for which indemnity is payable for at least two (2) years, at least once in every six (6) months after having given notice of the claim, he shall give to the insurer notice of continuance of the disability, except in the event of legal incapacity. The period of six (6) months following any filing of proof by the insured or any payment by the insurer because of the claim or any denial of liability in whole or in part by the insurer shall be excluded in applying this provision. Delay in giving the notice does not impair the insured's right to any indemnity which would otherwise have accrued during the period of six (6) months preceding the date on which the notice is actually given."
