    150 Ga. App. 464 (Ga. Ct. App. 1979)   Cited 26 times
    Concluding that the approximate six-month delay in giving notice to the insurer was not unreasonable as a matter of law since the insured was unaware that coverage for the accident existed under the policy

If timely, the notice was sufficient. 4.
