Addressing an insured’s notice requirement for a phantom vehicle accident when claiming entitlement to uninsured motorist benefits, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently held, in Vanderhoff v. Harleysville Insurance, decided on July 6, 2010, that the insurance carrier must prove that it has been prejudiced by an insured’s failure to provide earlier notice, thereby reversing the Superior Court’s ruling that the insured’s notice was not sufficiently timely to allow the uninsured claim to be pursued by its insured.
