Sec.38a-792-5. Notice of offer of compromise or rejection of claim

In view of the fact that the statute of limitations applies on the time for suit in negligence cases, it is suggested that, even if there might be no legal duty on the part of an adjuster so to inform the claimant, nevertheless in personal injury cases if the adjuster has interviewed the claimant within thirty days before the expiration of the statute of limitations without a settlement, fair practice and public ethics require that the adjuster should not mislead the claimant into believing that there might be a settlement prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations, and notice of an offer of compromise or rejection of claim should be definite.
