Why D is correct
Under G.S. 58-51-15(a)(7), written proof of loss is due within 180 days after the date of loss for all claims other than periodic-payment claims, which run 180 days after the end of the insurer's liability period. Late proof is accepted if submission was not reasonably possible, but in no event later than 1 year.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Sixty days is the waiting period before a legal action may be brought under G.S. 58-51-15(a)(11), not the proof-of-loss deadline.
- B) The 90-day figure is the NAIC-model proof period and is shorter than North Carolina's statutory 180 days under G.S. 58-51-15(a)(7).
- C) One year is the outside limit for late proof when timely submission was not reasonably possible, not the standard deadline.
Memory hook
North Carolina doubles the model rule: 180 days of proof, 1 year only if you could not help it.
