Can a victim still sue when offered compensation late?

A motorist disputes an insurer's handling of a delayed accident compensation claim.

TL;DR

  1. 1A motorcyclist had an accident involving a car insured by Generali IARD.
  2. 2The victim rejected two compensation offers from the insurer and then sued them.
  3. 3The court must decide if late compensation offers stop the clock on suing limits.

Do Generali IARD's late offers allow the motorcyclist's lawsuit to proceed?
