The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment in favor of an insurer in a commercial auto insurance dispute on appeal from the Southern District of Texas, holding that an insured’s claim for personal injury protection benefits was time-barred under Michigan law because the policy’s choice-of-law provision was enforceable and the insurer’s actions—including filing a declaratory judgment action—constituted a clear denial triggering the limitations period.
